pink everlasting pea

Everything is so hectic right now...I was all ready to spend an evening relating our camping experiences and then my computer suddenly developed a terminal condition and died. Fortunately we just had time to rescue all my documents and photos but then I was computerless...then I got a very unexpected tax rebate which has allowed me to get a beautiful new ibook - although I got it yesterday morning on my way back down south to work which is where I have been today and it is only this evening that I have been able to play around on it. breathe in. and out. Now I have time I am too tired to post what I wanted to but it's ok as work made a mistake and I am no longer needed tomorrow - although I am booked under contract so I will be paid anyway. Perfect. And it means that when it comes to the evening I will be awake enough to - at last - post a decent blog entry.
I finished early today and so had a rare magical hour where my mother was out with my baby bird and I was free of all responsibility. I went up the road to our lovely friend's house and sat in her pretty cottage garden with some coffee and good conversation. She mentioned a flower she has called the pink everlasting pea.....what a perfect name. Like a fairytale vegetable with magic powers or something....
