From where I was sitting at the top of the lawn I zoomed in to Bradley who was watching the cloud shapes

Yummm!!!



.. and the label reads "full flavours, a deep ruby colour and an intense smoky peppery character" ... "ready for immediate consumption (I did as I was told!) but has a good maturation potential" (not a chance .. need to drink it now!)

  7. Gorgeous flowers!
    Are they all in your own garden?
    I could get flower envy! :-)
    Bougainvillea always remind me of Capri, the little Island in the Golf of Naples, Italy. Arriving by funicular from Anacapri and walking up the steps towards the famous piazzetta of Capri, all one sees when looking up is the bluest of the blue sky and a huge cloud of magenta bougainville blossoms, with white painted walled beyond. Unforgettable.

    One of my best friends lives in Johannesburg during European winter. I dream of visiting her one day.
