Tulip “Giuseppe Verdi” - a true herald of Spring.
It was unexpectedly warm and sunny today, so we managed to get out into the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers, and to carry on the mission at this time of year - to "banish ugliness". Anything raggy or dead needs either pruning or binning, and several pots of biennials like foxgloves and forget-me-nots that should have been dealt with in autumn are finally in the ground (once the thousands of bloody sprouting sycamore seeds were scraped out of the way). My back's in half now, but it was a rewarding few hours' worth of slog!
I think a little relaxing music is in order...
How about a lovely bit of Bossa Nova? That'll do nicely.
I love that old fella - he's got it all sorted. His own table, booze, fags, ashtray - "Oh. You want me to sing now? OK..."
