Crocosmia

How delightful!

I was coming through the cemetery this morning on my usual trot round – I like to see the state of the graves at least once a week. You can tell a lot about people by the way they tend the graves of their family. Or don’t. One grave I spotted had a beautiful show of Crocosmia flowers and as luck would have it, they were the deep red varietry known as ‘Lucifer’. How perfect is that!

Of course, Felicia and I can only pop through early in the day, often via a pair of gaps in the fence. It’s easier to use the gaps in case anyone sees us – Felicia can easily leap a six foot fence and I can either fly over or portal through. There are fewer people about in the morning compared to the heat of the afternoon. The cemetery has few mature trees and thus little shade from the sun.

Now then. Monday’s my day off from the shop. I’m off to the park with Lucy for an ice-cream. Would anyone like to join me? Signatures on the dotted line, please.
