Lithodora zahnii - 2017

Warm sunny spot? That explains why it didn't survive long in Mum's South Yorkshire garden 1000ftup....

From Greece to a Yorkshire mountain would be enough to make any one give up the will to live. :-)

Well the views are great....

Is it a case of "if you can see the view, it's going to rain; if you can't see the view, it IS raining." We used to say that about the view to the hills across the river in my childhood town.

Lol - not really though there certainly are many places like that. Its just very exposed and several degrees colder than down in the town.

What a sweet little flower.

?If you think South Yorkshire is cold try West Yorkshire Bradford where my daughter lives on the Pennine Way and the wind you take a few steps forward then blown 10 steps backward.

The Pennine way isn't known for its mild climate is it?

Mum's house was 1000feet up. One very windy night a workman's shed complete with tools was blown right across the road, and one winter a double decker bus was buried up to the upstairs windows, so they had their fair share...Mum tried to go to work but it took her until lunch time to walk to the bus stop (had to be the one in the valley as out route was impossible), give up and walk home again. It doesn't do that sort of thing where we live now thank goodness!
