CHARTREUSE!

Until friend BJ suggested CHARTREUSE I'd never really thought of it as a colour, just a rather sweet French liqueur, vaguely the shade of the jacket Jackson's J1 just happened to wear to Saturdays Fox Terrier Fun Walk...And this deck-chair found on Brighton's pebble beach...

However to be sure checked Wikipedia, they describe it as "a color halfway between yellow and green that was named because of its resemblance to the green color of Green Chartreuse, introduced in 1764" - Google image...

So, I'm sticking with my other findings in Brighton - from the North Lanes, this dress...And a dark CHARTREUSE upper shop front..Finally this plant in the Royal Pavillion Gardens - no idea its name...

The cake has to come from home territory & the closest the Celebration Cake Shop could offer is this...
To join True Colours Thursday, whose designated blog home is HERE, all you need, is to post a photo/photographs & text, or better still both, on the specified colour of the week.
If you simply want to use the idea as a 'prompt' for a post, that is fine with me.
But, if, you'd like others including me, to visit you, please leave a comment, so we know you are 'IN'!
Previous known participants are shown in the TCT Roll Call in this blogs side bar.
Next week is colour is COFFEE - make mine a Cappuccino.
And, please remember ideas for forth coming colours would be very welcome!
Postscript - to all friends & TCT players sorry for lack of visits over the past two weeks - will try to do better!

Mom says that chartreuse beach chair looks just the right size for her to plop her butt and spend the day with a great book!
