I had a good telling off at the Diabetic clinic on Wednesday as my blood sugar is too high and I need to lose weight. Also my eye examination showed some changes which luckily are still reversible so it is wake up time, strict adherence to the diet and more exercise.
Now for more pleasant matters. Sarah Bernhart is being her usual blowsy self in the garden. Blooming later than most Peonies, she always manages to droop over nearby plants.
I don't have much success with roses for some reason and the ones I do have are bashful and prefer to bloom on the far side of the fence. All except for Albertine which always puts on a good show, maybe because it was grown from a cutting on its own roots.
Earlier in the week, we visited the annual flower festival at the local Parish church. The theme this year was weddings, and the 7th anniversary was represented by Wool.
It's a pity the knitting displayed wasn't more inspiring, a beautifully knitted shawl for example would have looked wonderful.
My knitting hasn't been particularly inspired this week either, just a few bits and pieces for charity and the inevitable sock, which caused some interest at the hospital.
Here are a couple more pictures from the flower festival.

Thanks Annette, I'll try my best to get in on saturday, but I know you don't attend them very often. Unfortunately I'd have come today but I had a prior engagement :o( It would be lovely to have a look through your patterns though so I'll let you know if I manage to get a tuesday booked off again. x
