His Pink Period

Busy going through the study notes while walking. Unusually I didn't suddenly come upon anyone while chatting away to myself. And I did manage to drag myself away long enough to spot these beauties.

I've noticed that the year starts with yellows and blues, and goes to the pink/purples later in the summer. 

When we moved to Swansea we viewed a number of houses before choosing ours. A youngish widower lived in one and he had decorated each room with a colour theme, so he showed us around the Blue Room, and the Pink Room, and so on. It was a lovely characterful house but we were put off when he insisted on telling us how he'd nursed his dying wife to the end 'here in this house'. Fortunately a small garden gave us a good excuse to turn it down without upsetting him.
