The flowers on these are with us for such a short time but the colours are my favourite and from the brightness of the alliums to the ghostly romanticism of the wisteria. The wisteria covers my studio and as you can see the top windows really need cutting back but I keep stopping Alistair from doing it as I love how it looks at present after a winter of bare stone ( lovely in itself of course). Rain is due tomorrow and this morning I had every intention of rising at dawn and getting outside for shooting some of the flowers in the garden that are looking stunning at the moment - maybe at dusk I will take a walk around, but I always love the light of a new day and that freshness that surrounds you.

At present I am drinking bottles of water to which I add a tablespoon of aloe vera juice, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice - as Ibelieve it helps with inflammation and it certainly seems more refreshing than just plain water.
