Greece Tomorrow!

Today is Su's birthday (Happy Birthday!!!!!!:-)!!!!!), and we are off to Greece tomorrow (Hooray - sunshine!!!!)  so this will be mainly a picture blog. Here is our new lounger chair lounging against our bench.

One of Bella's favourite shops - complete with Olympic torch emblem - I guess from May when it came through Bath?

A wicked delicatessen - in league with the devil!

 This is Su showing me an example of her "banana art"!

Out with Bella saw lots of flowers - cornflowers.

"Love in the mist", so my resident horticultural expert tells me!

Sweet peas in abundance.

More sweet peas - all pink.

An olive tree flowering in a neighbour's front garden.

A full planter at the side of the road.

A day lily - lovely old-fashioned colour.

This bit of rope is all that's left showing from when it was originally tied around the tree - the rest has been absorbed!

Lovely silver foliage on these plants - can't remember what they are called.

I believe this is bergamot?

A fulsome poppy.

A grand old tree 

This day a year ago, it was also Su's birthday - this was one of the garland of flowers I posted on the blog for her. This year, I have yet to see a buddleia in flower
