OK, Reached 70


Which, a couple of years ago, seemed unlikely to happen...

 
So time for champagne from our 40th wedding anniversary plus lumpfish caviar and gravilax salmon...

 

Operation on cataracts in a couple of days but... still got a load of stuff from Frontline so that I can do rooms for Pulp scenarios. No idea when I'll be in a fit condition to paint them!

 

Meanwhile, pond has now gone from being a firepit to a pond... it's still filling as I'm typing this... I'll issue an update later when it's planted out!

 

Meanwhile, various wildflower meadows from last year starting to flower - mostly still Honesty and Corncockle, but Oxeye Daisies and Cornflower seem to be coming through. Hoping for a good displasy over the next couple of months.

 So, perhaps not true that life starts at 70 (or whatever year is the next decade in your life) but, to be fair, things OK at the moment...

  1. Looking good - both you and the wildflower garden - with more to come and look forward to.

    1. Wildflowers may take a couple more years but looking promising. Me... possibly less promising but still things to look forward to...

    1. Might be an incentive back into painting, even if it is a couple of months away - second op for other eye, few weeks to settle, new eye test and new glasses!

  7. Happy Birthday and many more to come!

    70 used to sound old and far away but now that I don't need to count all of my limbs to figure out how many years till I get there, it doesn't sound so old after all.
