This is a section of a bouquet Ma got for her birthday almost a month ago.....the flowers lasted three weeks and were beautiful....this picture is a permanent memory for Mum.
I have printed it out onto a card for her to keep.
A Lilly and a Rose

I bet your Ma will love it M,I would of gone for a splash of colour (perhaps the rose)

[Margaret Pilkington]

I tried it, but it was no way near as attractive. The rose in the picture was cream.
I can take colour out, but cannot subtly put it back in the way that looks natural.
I took a glossy shot of the pic up to Ma today......she loved it and wants me to look for a frame for it so that she can put it on her sideboard.

No,that's not to say the thought didn't cross my mind though.
They are toxic if you don't prepare them correctly,the Sherman use to let deer eat them and drink the urine...


...I'll stick with PG tips

I'm really pleased to hear that you didn't eat it........and yes I prefer Tea(leaf for me though) over Pee....even though I have never tried it. It somehow does not appeal to me

I was back at the location where the shroom was today and I observed two folk pick it and put it in a Tupperware box,if they don't have a deer,I hope they know how to prepare it.
I've never been a lover of the tea leafs as I can't stand the thought of eating them...

...strange,I know considering I waa contemplating eating a wild shroom

Took the dogs for a walk down by the river when I bumped into this bloke who had his harris out.

You can get locked up for having your harris out in public

I may be wrong with the name.It's the same place that I was thinking....

...I use to look for buzzards down there and fish the lodge that is at the side of the river.

I managed to grab this shot of the sun going down.

It sounds like the same place as there is a private fishing lodge to one side of the river.
