Blooming Paper Flowers & Top-knots

I thought I'd sneak in a little post before tomorrow's Foul Food Foto and brighten this place up a bit.

I happened to be in Dartington's amazing gardens yesterday with one of my good friends and her gorgeous new baby and couldn't help but take photos of the blossoming flowers. So I had to share 'em.

 

It was a beautiful, boiling hot day and my hair's finally growing out again after chopping it all off, from really long to a little pixie do. I've been yearning for it to be long again, but it's just at shoulder length stage and in need  of a trim, as I'm afraid I may look a bit on the trampish side. So it's a top-knot all the way at the moment. Plus, my hair does tend to annoy me when it's hot, so it's best out the way, otherwise I end up chopping it all off again and have to go through the dreaded mullet stage all over again!

It amazed me how papery the flowers looked yesterday. Almost like crepe paper.
