Oh, thank you so much, dear friend David. You were not to know! We are heading towards the final times - in my Love's current form, for he is a Buddhist... The staff in his new 'home' are truly wonderful and keep me strong. My love to you & your dear ones 🫂💜🌿🌼🙋‍♀️💜

In the language of flowers, the Zinnia, native to Mexico, symbolises friendship and loyalty. It conveys sentiments such as “I miss you,” “you are in my thoughts,” or “where there is love there can be no separation.” #FlowersOnFriday #FlowerFridayFamily

Sorry for such a tardy reply, dear Venetia - and I do hope you and your friend had an uplifting chat (and plenty of hugs). Am just emerging temporarily from Overwhelm Alley myself - hence tardiness. My Love is currently safe in hospital, thankfully 🙏 Take good care, hugs 🤗💜xxx

Ah yes, that's a very good point about all the watering, especially if you have a hosepipe ban in place! 😬🚿I'm just slightly regretting trying my hand at growing cucumbers & courgettes this year 🥒😅🤗xxx

Thank you for the kind thoughts and wishes from you both, dear David 🤗My Beloved's next CT scan results are due next week, always an angst-ful time; 'scanxiety' as a friend terms it. Hope you & Libby have a lovely day - we are rainswept at the mo, but sunshine is promised! X 🌧️🌦️🌈🌅🌸💜🙋‍♀️

Ah, thank you dear David! 'Peace' rose was my lovely (Cumbrian) Grandpa's favourite rose - as a survivor of WW1, it held special poignancy for him X 🌼🌿🌸🕊️😍🙋‍♀️

This has such a wonderful, ethereal and impressionist feel, dear David - I think Flora herself would be enchanted X 🪄✨🌼🌿🏵️🍀🙋‍♀️

My word, what an array of local names for this simple flower, Venetia - I have to say, I wouldn't opt for the Norfolk name, but Dorset and Shropshire are much preferable! 🌼🧚‍♀️⛈️🤍xxx

Jacquelyn Allen-Collinson @jacquelynac.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

I'm definitely sharing your imagination if there isn't a tiny, fairy green heart sitting at the centre, Venetia! 💚🌻🥰xxx

“Robins appear when loved ones are near.” In British folklore, the robin is seen as a spirit messenger, a bird of comfort and compassion. Its appearance is often thought to be a brief visitation from a loved one’s spirit, perhaps at a time of passing or mourning. #FolkloreSunday
