And so the lovely sunny day continued and I took many photos of the lovely flowers on my Marlothistella up in the greenhouse .
We took a walk along the field towards the Marconi Monument , blue sky and sun shining , but a chilly breeze . I wrapped up warm with gloves and my scarf around my ears . So it didn't bother me .
The Marconi Monument .
He however , didn't bring his gloves or scarf ....the wind played a tune as it blew over those little holes on his crutches ! It was so funny ! lol !
He was glad we had come out for some fresh air , but I could see his ears turning blue , so we turned round and walked back to the car .
From the car we sat and watched the waves .
Lovely just to sit and watch them rolling in .
Time for home and a nice cuppa tea !
As we came into our lane we were thrilled to see the first full moon of the year rising up over our little cottage and the vegetable garden . My photo just doesn't do it justice I,m afraid . I really hope you had a good view of her rising .
Meanwhile up in my greenhouse the Epiphyllum ( which is meant to flower in May ) bud is swelling and I noticed that it's sepals are beginning to open backwards .
I wonder if it will open during the night as many Epies do ? To be pollinated by moths I suppose . Maybe it is responding to the Moon .
I am going up there in a minute with my camera and torch , to light a couple of long burning night lights , to take the chill off the air ....and take a look .
I'll let you know if she blooms !
