Random colours

An unusually colourful congregation sighted going into Exeter Cathedral last weekend.

There wasn't a plastic bird (or congregational sheep) in sight in this gaudy gift shop window in East Looe yesterday.

The weather is not as bright and sunny as it was when I planted all those front porch pots, but the plants are growing and beginning to show off their colours.

This is the view from our boat as per yesterday's posting. Note the whereabouts of my scope.

In case you think I've given up on everyday life at home, I found and photographed some suitable garden  pots today. My unusual garden centre behaviour didn't go unnoticed, but led to a very pleasant chat with my interrogator - about many subjects not concerning gardening. 

Coloured pots at last - just what I've been looking for!

Pots and crops

I popped out to a garden centre to check out pots in which to plant and grow flowers to adorn my new front porch. I'll show you a picture when the aforementioned flowers, not yet purchased/planted, are in bloom. I wasn't inspired but took photos, which was much easier (and cheaper) than making a purchase.

The flower and plant arrangements at the garden centre were very impressive and I nearly took pictures but felt that by then my behaviour could have been construed as suspicious. You'll therefore have to make do with the gardencentre-esque line up at the front of the Hotel Marshyangdi, Kathmadu http://www.hotelmarshyangdi.com/ , photographed because there were no other subjects/objects at the time, during the recent visit. If you want good Nepalise food (not plants!), this is the place to go.
