OK – yesterday’s shot showed the context, this one shows the detail of the clematis and the wisteria in harmony. I know “it’s just more flowers” to many but I remain somewhere between smug and thrilled about these blooms. In a world where everything is so desperately fragile I love the thought that something so fragile is able to survive everything the weather throws at it and then responds with great panache.

It’s been a traumatic day so this is my special tonic.
