Last Friday I came across Alex posting a fence picture on Flickr entitled ‘Happy Fence Friday!’

“What’s that all about??”
“Well, it’s a fence… you know, for Fence Friday. Like Macro Monday”
“Macro Monday?”
“… erm, it’s a Flickr thing…”
(As you can tell I don’t really do Flickr. I would like to get more into it, but, well, time is an issue.)
“Oh, ok then.”

Anyway, I decided to start my own little thing on here. I’ll call it Flower Friday. Just to put everyone in a happy flowery weekend kind of mood (I apologise if anyone has done this before, but I like the idea of posting flower pictures on a Friday, convenient alliteration aside). And if you live in the UK like me you will definitely need cheering up what with the intemperate weather we have been experiencing lately.

I’m not sure what kind of roses these are, but they are such a beautifully intense shade which I can’t quite describe; not quite pink, or red, or peach. Very appealing.

So, today I’m off on a girl’s weekend. Alex is looking after the kids, and I am looking forward to lots of laughter, yummy food, plenty of alcoholic beverages, walks by the sea, sleeping in, cycling, reading on the train (oh how I love solitary train journeys), having my thoughts all to myself and setting them free to wander….

What are you all looking forward to?

Have a great weekend everyone!
