My goodness, it's been more than breezy today. My washing needed nailing onto the line.....I got fed up of pegging it back on so went to bring it in and found the lilies lying down....

So pretty! I love to have bunch of lilies. Hyacinths are OH's aversion! :-(

I liked the cartoon I saw in the paper the other day. An old couple were in their garden looking up at the roof & he's saying "No, it's not a tile, it's a Cornish pastie."
Reminds me of the worst one I ever had& that was in Mousehole, Cornwall. So heavy, like a brick. Certainly couldn't blow onto a roof!

Those are beautiful HB, but such a shame the wind battered them, still ill winds and all that... My OH finds strong scented blooms make him sneeze. He says it's hay fever, I just tell him he's looking for attention lol! I love lilies, hyacinths, sweetpeas, in fact any strong scented flowers really.
