And now for something completely different

So I have been found out I guess - not much progress on any knitting or sewing projects - that will be down to a hectic week which included managing to double book myself. I have been seeing friends, doing lots of Guide things and supporting a very worthy charity event in aid of Breast Cancer.
Finally did some relaxing this weekend with some lovely friends who came to stay and brought me some beautiful plants, one of which is pictured above.

I have no idea what the plant is - and neither did the lady who brought it, relying on one friend who reads this blog to tell me as she is a very keen gardener! The plants are grown by a very talented neighbour of my friend - she is well known in her local area for her plants and sales, and whenever I visit my friend we go round and browse the garden, discuss my garden and then I am recommended some plants to buy - all very reasonably priced.

Hubby suggested taking pictures of the plants with the macro setting on my camera and I have thought about the 'rule of thirds' when photographing this - I think I should have two versions of this photograph for some photography friends - the one above and a cropped one with the flowers in the centre Also tried to get one of the plants with a bee in it for my wildlife photographer friend but it flew off :-(

Hoping to get these plants and more into the garden this week and make progress on the knitting/sewing - a quieter week - no Guides but filled with at least two craft nights - although that is card making and I tend not to put that on here, but maybe we'll see

Well this seems like a lengthy post so I will go now and try and find something to do - hubby is watching the GP ad I feel at a loose end! No idea why as there is PLENTY to do.
