Last time I wrote on here, it was lovely and warm - I'd even been able to have the lounge window open to let in fresh air. Now today the temperature had dropped to 6C - ridiculous, what's going on? Mandi said that their weather in Turkey wasn't much better neither. Apparently she says that it's still snowing in Istanbul - what's happened to the weather?

Well lucky for me - if the sun is shining, it's warm in my lounge. Having a bay window means that I have sun shining in the whole time it's facing south. So therefore the plants in my bay window are really relishing the sun. So far the geraniums have continually flowered for over a year now - incredible.

So today I took some pictures of my view from the couch.


This is what I see when I sit down on my couch and look to my left towards the window. Soon there will be blossom outside - so beauty outside as well as indoors.





These geraniums (there are two plants) have been constantly flowering for over a year now!!!! I've never heard of that before - I don't have central heating, so maybe that's the reason. There are new ones announcing their presence too...


Then I see the flamingo plant. My son bought me a tiny little ornament, with this small plant in it. I decided to re-pot it in a larger container - and it's gone mad!!! What started out as one flower - there's loads of them now!!!




You can see that spiders seem to like this plant for making their webs on. I'll have to allot a couple of hours and sit down on that other couch, with a bowl of water and a rag and wash the leaves and flowers..... to get rid of these sticky webs.

There is another plant, that Anne (my neighbour) gave me a couple of weeks ago - don't know what it's called, but the flowers are going to be white. I've a feeling I had a similar plant a couple of years ago...


Now a couple of years ago - Emily gave me a plant with bright red flowers, but over time, they've faded from deep red to a sort of transparent brownish. It looked like flames - brilliant.

I haven't shown the rest of the bay window - the yucca and the hoya as well as the ferns are taking up most of the space. It's just that at the moment the other plants are giving me colour. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend to come. I'm not sure what I'm doing - maybe doing some more jewellry pendants or maybe even get the bowl of warm water and the rag and get at those cobwebs. Oooh I do lead an exciting life!!!!!
