That's what my heart yearns for now


Our fabulous Geranium phaeum "Samobor" is one of the stars of the moment.

It was pissing down yesterday for the coronation. It's going to piss it down again tomorrow for the Bank Holiday. Today, however, was glorious - and gave me another excuse to get some more potting-on done in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers. At this time of year, everything's rocketing away! The fuchsias I bought as little rooted cuttings at Easter-time are getting nice and stocky - several of them are now in their rightful place as part of our "Fuchsia Wall", and a few of the older, woodier ones are moving out into different locations (one's gone out the front to replace the huge Osteospermum that was killed by frost).

Knackering, but satisfying...

It's still "Coronation Weekend" [and we still haven't sat down to watch the whole glittering event - that'll be tomorrow], so how about another tenuously-themed song to carry on the celebrations?

Big hair. Bigger boots. Ah, the 1980s...

What my heart yearns for now



It's time for another little trip in the TARDIS...

Let's head back thirty years to this week in 1985, when there was not only a Prince (with his 1999/Little Red Corvette double-A-side) and a Queen (Madge, with Like A Virgin) in the charts, but also - King!

Proud mullet-wearers and the originators of that all-too-brief fashion for painted Doc Martins, here's their big hit - a staple of retro radio stations everywhere - Love & Pride:


That's what my heart yearns for now - love and pride.
That's what my heart yearns for now - love and pride.

Start your journey early or maybe later
get your boots on

Look for rainbows
it's cloudy

Take your hairdryer
blow them all away.

In you I've found a story I want to keep hearing.
In you I see all colours
not just black or white.
In you I find a reason and hope for all dreamers

You are my fill
you're my supply of love and pride.
That's what my heart yearns for now - love and pride. . . .

Knowing
sensing
seeing
eating
sleeping
that's just being.
Touching
testing
loving
wanting and taking

more love and more pride.
In you I've found a story I want to keep hearing...

I'm taking it round the world - some love and pride.
That's what my heart yearns for now - love and pride...
That's what my heart yearns for now - love and pride!
