    LG, I think I saw it, but a long time ago. Is it a new series?  I’ve said this before, but you might not have been on the forum when I did. One of my favourite bush foods when I was a kid was Lilly Pilly fruit. 🤪. There was a mature tree hanging over an old lady’s fence where we all used to congregate when riding our bikes so we’d all pig out on the fruit. 
    If you want to know more about them, look up Acmena smithii.   

    Sorry it’s a bit big.

    I picked some flowers this morning. Thought you’d like to see some of my spring flowers.

  • Good morning all:)  Lovely flowers @Pat E what a pretty mix  :) thanks for sharing. Hope everyone’s had a peaceful night ... I’d better read back and see what you were all up to while I was out yesterday ...
    Wasnt the moon beautiful yesterday evening!?  I was driving due east as it rose in front of me ... huge and an amazing amber colour ...

    Thanks Dove. Glad you liked them. We missed the moon this time because of cloud.

    Hubby just sent me this photo of our main dam, taken yesterday. A bit low. 🤬

    Blimey Pat - that doesn't look good  :/, as opposed to your flowers - which do  :)
    Morning people, and afties Pat, by the way  :)
    The overnight frost is already disappearing and it's all dank and murky and unpleasant here again. If it stays dry I might get a few things done outside,but it's pretty chilly, so layers will be required.
    The r*ddy fox has been digging up all my daffs in the pots in the front garden, so I'll need to have a proper look and cover with chicken wire. Grrr  :#
    Only had a glimpse of the moon yesterday Dove - too cloudy in the  evening, but it was stunning the day before. I know what you mean about driving towards it - I ofetn get a good glimpse coming back from work. We had some nice ones last week too. I'd love a camera [and the skill] to do some really good ones, but the odd one or two turn out ok.

    Have a good day GWRS. Glad you like the robin- I've now set him as my screensaver, replacing my snow bunting  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hi Fairy. That photo of the dam is also after 12 mm rain. 
    Lovely shot of the moon. Does the Fox try to eat the bulbs as well? Don’t think that’s a good idea.

    Don't think he's eaten them Pat, but I'll need to take a proper look. They're great big bulbs and well buried, but I can see the tips of some. It's more that he's chucked the soil everywhere  :D
    They're the ones my sister bought me for my big birthday last year, and although there's loads of them, I don't want to lose any.
