Salmon poke bowl
Slowly ripening bunches of grapes
A vivacious pink dahlia with many petals like a firework
Raindrops on dark red dahlia petals
A posy of dahlias and jasmine in a small glass bottle
A grasshopper on a red dahlia
Tiger baby lilies - a gorgeous orange with black spots all over the petals
White lily
White hydrangea frothing over a brick wall
Selfie. I’m wearing a white t-shirt and a black baseball cap.
10 day weather forecast showing a forthcoming heatwave
A pink linen napkin with the embroidered words “an elegant mess”
A golden heart-shaped leaf
Weather report for the next 10 days showing cloudy days and comfortable temperatures
Salmon poke bowl
Weather report showing high temperatures for the next few days
Pistachio and matcha tiramisu with a cute chocolate lobster on the top
Me, wearing a leather jacket and red sweater, drinking a Knoops hot chocolate
On the table a plate of smashed avocado and feta on toast with two poached eggs. Me in the background
Vicks First Defence - ‘Helps Stop a Cold in its Tracks’
Salmon poke bowl - rice, salmon, carrots, edamame, cucumber, seaweed, avocado, crispy onions
A glass of matcha lemonade with straw and peppermint leaves
floofy cherry blossoms
Me behind the Cape of Good Hope sign marker (the most south-western point of the African Continent)
Sushi
a small black lizard poking its head out of a gap in the wall
Prawns
Stunning contrast between native greenery and the Atlantic Ocean in South Africa
The sign says please do not feed the dassies as they may bite
Table Mountain looking majestic
New fatsia japonica leaves opening up
turf cottage chapbook, the cover shows part of an old fallen tree in a misty woodland setting
Leonidas chocolate egg box
Prunus kojo no mai in blossom
Cheese pide in boxes
A salmon poke bowl and sushi platter
A purple box of divan milk chocolate coated rose Turkish delight
A selfie
Pale pink and white rhododendron flowers
White magnolia stellata flowers
Pink tulips in a pot
A photo of part of my restored antique pine flooring
