I have finally found out what this plant is called and I was close with my original title of ‘Snowdrops’, which is just what popped into my head when I looked at this plant. I now know it is commonly called Snow Queen, hence the title change. If anyone is desperate to know, its botanical name is Pieris.

Scanned 35mm film The Plaka, Athens. Another of the many, many homeless cats in Greece, this little guy was good enough to pose for me in front of a fetching yellow wall precisely the same colour as his eyes!

/ !The Ladye and the Knight. I ride and I ride soft canter it flows / I ride to my hawk / soft wind it doth blow / The hawk bells do ring / as she breaks from the day / in this winter morning / at the chasing her prey / her I fear to intrude / and lure her to stay / and hood her so crude Over rough hill and vale / o’er fence she now faces / past fields dark and rude / in light beyond pale / I continue my chases / To gallop yon fool frail / I laugh death in its faces Until brightness flicking / from a pool in the forest / In mine eye it was sticking / I espied on a low branch / my bird come to resting / by a pool in a copse / deep and dark to its testing / Mine ear pick out faintly / and dim in the distance / A lady now daintily / Abroad now and singing My wonder, in’truth / seems to hear so transported / a song of her youth / and her love so reported / I watched her appear / from beyond pool so stilling / her beauty it reared / my heart near to filling / For beauteous she was / in raiment so fine / that I drank in her voice / be like a fine wine / And love held me stricken / with reflect’d on her face / would she notice me there / as through longing missed / and take all that be fair / be vanish’d without trace / As her lips I long kissed / and her locks shining parted / I longed for her looks / Howsomuch damaged my heart did Had she tarried awhile / I would have I’m sure / Presented with style / my suite so to woo her / But gone she now was / I longed to pursue her / But I held back too late / Although never to sure / Was I of this vision / vouchsafed me by heaven My heart its derision / was surely as steadfast / that made my decision / to pursue now this quest / until I would breath last / in pursuit of my lady / if not paradise found / then surely to hades / I would soon be bound Ken Simm!

The Scottish Borders are world famous for the ‘4 Abbeys’. This is Dryburgh Abbey, or part of it. Set amongst tall trees alongside a babbling brook the monks who settled here certainly knew what paradise and tranquility meant to them – that was until the reformation of the monasteries….

MY FAVOURITES - "Japanese Windflowers" by Tiffany Dryburgh
by Adriana GlackinNot all images in “My Favourites” necess…
Not all images in “My Favourites” necessarily illicit images or memories from childhood. “Japanese Windflowers” by Tiffany Dryburgh caught my imagination and everytime I look at this image, the same story unfolds… Helena is 83 and has lived in her inner city cottage all her life. The cottage, originally a worker’s cottage had been in her family since 1910. She was born in that simple home, as had all her children. Always a happy home, Helena simply delighted in tending the small garden. How times had changed, the neighbours had come and gone, apartment blocks now stood where a lot of the workers’ cottages once stood. But still, Helena maintained her sanctuary. The japanese windflowers were her pride and joy, temperamental things they can be, but this year’s blooms were the finest yet. Helena was looking forward to saturday, that was the day her children would be visiting and wouldn’t they be surprised at the many blooms filling Helena’s garden! ps. apologies to those who are perhaps expecting great pieces of writing – sorry – I’m definitely not a writer in any way, shape or form, I’m simply unleashing the images I see in my head when I view the favourites I have chosen. I feel very brave in doing this because I don’t know any of you, nor you know me – so it’s safe (except I have a friend or two on here but they probably will see this as my latest fad ; > ).

MY FAVOURITES - "Rooftops Florence" by Tiffany Dryburgh
by Adriana GlackinGorgeous isn’t it! This image of Tiffa…
Gorgeous isn’t it! This image of Tiffany Dryburgh’s surely epitomises the Florence that the Deluxe-14-Day-Europe-by-Coach-Tour that tourists don’t see. The Florence I saw followed this whistle-stop formula and while it’s a great introduction to visiting Europe (or Australia, or USA), it can sometimes leave you wanting for more. The Florence these tours encourage you to see is the Florence that sells gold jewellery and leather goods. So my memories Florence, other than seeing DAVID, would be of trawling gold and leather shops and watching potential pickpockets at work. Not a positive memory but obviously for the tour operator a lucrative one as the more we bought the more commission they made. Tiffany’s Florence is the everyday Florence. / I can smell the pasta sauces being made, the prosciutto being sliced; / I can hear the discussions over lunch as to what should be prepared for dinner, the latest gossip being exchanged; / I can see the Florentines buying their daily supplies at their local mercato, then in the afternoon the Florentines going on their passeggiata; / I can feel the warmth and frienliness of the locals as they encourage me to taste their home-made wine, and their desire to show us their city that isn’t all about gold and leather handbags and jackets. And after all these years, do i wear that leather jacket – NO WAY, you’re joking, it is sooo ‘80’s! Would I visit Florence again – after viewing Tiffany’s image – I’m saving already!
