Just been to drop Alex off at soccer camp half an hour inland from our house. What absolutely stunning scenery :thumbsup: I passed the most beautiful wild flowers, orchids and others I don't know. But the fields of purple were amazing. I've no idea what they were but there was just a carpet of little purple flowers that went on forever, up over the hills and right to the edge of the road.

I love living here :thumbsup:

y'know, your other thread made me think the other day.
a lot of peeps say that the scenery etc in uk/aus doesnt count for much, but my old mum spends ages just looking at the world around her and taking in the beauty of it. she knows she is living on borrowed time, but really does live each day as if its the last - she smiles at the birds, the flowers, little kids ... she really does see the beauty in everything around her - and i think for those that dont take the time to look and see whats in front of them, its a pretty dull life.
y'know what im trying to say? :D

I wise woman (CG) once said to me "They're only weeds if you don't like them and don't want them." :yes:

I have loads of beautiful weeds in my garden and they are staying. Unless Terry has managed to kill them off too :rolleyes:

I slightly feel the need to apologise, but I just can't get enough of the purple flowers.




You'll have noticed that though :whistle:

No idea what they are. Can't say I've googled to look though.

Alex had a great time but is absolutely shattered. Got to sleep about 3am fri night and 2am last night. He fell asleep while watching the rugby. That and the fact they let him have a beer round the campfire might have had something to do with it :rolleyes:

I don't think I have a favourite colour, or number come to think of it. I like even numbers over odd numbers but no specific number.

Can you tell I'm bored?

It would be hard for you to have a favorite colour, especially red or green :P
