Birthday ring

My Victorian ring Pierre gave me for my 54th birthday today.

Beautiful island

Aren't I lucky to live somewhere so beautiful.

My pincushion hakea has never flowered so well! Today I weeded a bit in the vegie garden and planted some rainbow chard and winter lettuces.

My Clivia lilies are very happy in the fernery, I hope they flower better than usual this year.

I went watercolour painting today with our painting group, it was foggy all day which is very unusual over here. It was very cold when we were painting too.
