The window box at the front of our new home is a blaze of glory right now. A bunch of red geraniums that I planted last year have responded superbly to plenty of water, regular feeding and a good dose of morning sun.
They also sit outside the room where I now edit photographs, prepare posts and talk to other photographers around the globe. It may be a small joy in the scheme of things, but this is an enormous pleasure.
Here’s to the British summer in a leafy corner of west London.

Nice flowers. But for the summer time it is usual thing. I was surprised while visited London on December 2010. I’ve seen a lot of cyclamens everywhere in the city. It was beautiful.
Yes, there should be plenty of this in summertime, Alexander. I’m just pleased to have my own little piece of this!
Lovely Mike! :)
Thank you, Rachel. This is the British summer :-)
