These rather strange-looking brushes are actually the bursting buds of a lovely golden elder we have. We cut it down every year, and each spring these little red brushes sprout, and rapidly turn into the most glorious yellow leaves.
And speaking of yellow leaves, this willow trees coming into leaf looks more yellow than green in the afternoon sun!
Having had my eyes photographed, at a far-distant hospital and after a very long wait, I have now been telephoned by the Hospital with an appointment to see the Consultant next week. Of course, my mind is now thinking of all sorts of dire situations: why do they want to see me so soon? Am I going blind? Will I have to have an operation? HELP!
Better go and do something really useful, like cook the dinner!

Those buds look a bit science fiction don't they? Good job we know they are going to look feathery and pretty.

Gilly, I don't know how you happened upon my blog, but I am so glad you did - and left a comment, because now I have found yours and will add it to my list because it 'speaks' to me. Don't we all worry as we get older at the tweaks and irritations of our bodies (and minds) and wonder what they mean? Best of luck with the appointment re your eyes, I will be thinking of you. And now back to reading through your postings.
Thinking of you Gilly...try not to worry. Keep us posted.
Love, Tina x

Hope all goes well with your appointment.
