Flower project

The site with the first few blossoms - hardly noticeable from the street -Flowers looking cheery in the afternoon sunshine -
It's a different story in the rain -
The wind adds another challenging factor - unless the flowers are sturdily made (ie with many folds) they tend to blow apart (ie unfold). A sheet of soggy paper was lying on the steps as I came home - its wet weight had caused it to drop like a stone.

This morning I've been folding daisies. The first one took 15 minutes but you do get faster. While folding, I've been listening to Mark Twain's autobiography on the iPlayer (Book of the Week, BBC radio 4) - excellent, amusing - what a writer, so quotable! The first episode is available for another three days, the next episodes for successively longer.
