Yesterday was a very happy day - for two reasons.
Firstly I got a blog friendship award from Adrienne. I have only been blogging for a few months and already I have met such wonderful people. It is a nice community to belong too. I love my award and have put it on the side of my blog so you can see it too.
Secondly, when I got home a wonderful surprise awaited us. Like two expectant grandfathers, AGA and I have been hovering around the dahlia we have in a pot on the balcony and yesterday there it was - our first bloom. All red and silky, turning its face towards the courtyards and the sun. I took a photo of it to show you.
