My latest flower/coffee post. π
*YUM!!!!!!!!* π A turmeric latte (Photo 1), a HOT coffee as I'm (or was!) a bit cold - it's a bit rainy and windy outside, and my Double Delight rose is pink with a yellow centre, NOT WHITE, but you can't see properly in the lighting (photos 2 & 3), and YES, I'm slightly mad, I was photographing in the rain. π Photo 4, forget-me-nots in my flower garden, and photo 5, a rather pretty purple weed in my lawn by my flower bed that looks like lavender, hence why I call it Lawn Lavender, and LOOK at how big my pumpkin patch has grown! (Photo 6.) I have at least three larger ones (that I'm sure will become BIG ones!) and quite a lot of smaller ones growing, and red and yellow dahlias in my garden (photos 7-9), and my barrels, positioned under a conveniently positioned leaky gutter (that I hope the landlord won't fix anytime soon!) are nice and full (photo 10), I think I'm going to have to empty them into my IBC behind them if this rain keeps going - that's the white cube-shaped thing behind them that has a steel tubing cage around it, like you see on farms and in crop fields etc. I have two, they hold 1000 litres each.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
