The house, the church, and the flowers


These are some of Robin's earlier works; the house was inspired, I believe, by one of our trips to the east coast, likely PEI. The churches and crofts were on the Lossiemouth Harbour in Scotland where our friend Rita took us for lunch. I had the best mac & cheese, and a cup of tea, in a converted fish-monger's warehouse, while watching the fishing fleet go about their business.



Giant Magnolia-type blossums and white dasies - summertime!.
Since our move to St. Thomas, we always seem to have fresh flowers in the house; our wonderful neighbours on the East and West, Laura and Lorraine, keep us well stocked with bouquets from their gardens. We also have our weekly supply of Orchard Hill flowers that we pick when we collect our produce.
