    Hello Sue. Just popping to see some friends on this pleasant Saturday afternoon
    Good to see you back with another 'bunch of flowers' :)

    How is your garden coping after the recent traumas - and more importantly, how are you and your man coping

      Hi there Cathy, and its lovely to see you. It is a lovely day indeed, not too hot not too cold.
      Yes, thanks, I never stray too far from flowers - perhaps into some trees at times ;D)
      We were very pleasantly surprised by how our garden copes... don't have time for sooky plants so have pretty much got a hardy bunch who are doing well. Hubby's vegies are going fine too.
      How about your garden? Did you have vegies this year? I must get over and pay you a visit, have been very slow getting around... sometimes I do a quick flick here and there but its late at night and I don't stay long enough to leave a message.
      All's well with us thanks, we are very grateful to have come out of things as well, it breaks your heart doesn't it for those who didn't.
      I hope alls well with you and yours too.
      Oh, and thanks for popping on to instagram, look forward to crossing paths with you there as well ~💙✨~

    Sue i'm so sorry I missed this magnificent masterpiece last week, i've been somewhat awol from blogger suffering with migraine and discomfort in my left eye so under Doctors advice stayed offline for a couple of weeks only posting Design Team duties. I was delighted to see you in the spotlight this week at PPF what a happy day.. Congrats and thank you for treating us to this feast of colour... Hugs Tracey xx

    Maybe I saw this on Instagram as I thought I had commented, but may have commented in my head (you know how it can be?).
    It's a beautiful flower painting and I think it must have been difficult to paint all the flowers and leaves and still make it look so good and together.
    The background is just perfect with the flowers and of course, the bird brings it even more alive.
    I enjoyed this painting a lot.

      This was one of my paintings that I started with the thought that it will only be me who sees this and that always gets me going to just paint for the sheer fun of it. It was fun to do too and thanks so much for your lovely thoughts about it xx
