It's alive!

These past four years, I have been the proud owner of three beautiful fuschia plants. However what at first glance may appear a pretty idyllic situation is in fact bittersweet, tinged with sadness. For these last four years, though wonderful and green, the fuschias have yielded up not one single flower.

It has always been a great source of anguish to me. Was it my system of feeding leftover green tea to them every morning harming their chances of ever sprouting a bud? Were they perhaps in need of more sunlight, larger pots, more space? I felt I had tried everything.

Then this morning, everything changed.

This morning, I first saw Joey.

The excitement, was unreal.

Finally, I feel we can move forward in our relationship. There is a tanglible shift, a new stage has been reached! New possibilities and a fresh life together!

Celebrating the first bloom and looking forward to many more!

Flowers n' Stuff

I've found a great alternative to tescos' where obtaining nice flowers is concerned.

Just next to our friendly neighbourhood toilets. I've walked past it just about every school lunchtime for the past two years, and hadn't noticed it until about a month ago. The main reaction was, 'WHOA, when did that get there?'... people roll their eyes. There's another one on the other side of the car park entrance way (*loud whisper*; THIS IS A CAR PARK ENTRANCE WAY).

Some stuff I've found there.

I nabbed a couple for a) Beth and b) on my way back, the dining room table. I'm sure it appreciated the gesture.
