Howard, did you take a shot revealing more of the flower? Lovely rich colours

Yes Andy, I did. Haven't had a chance to do anything with the other shots yet - see my pictures of the wheel bearing from the mower - been mucking about with that most of the day.

I can see it's rather  "oval'y" worn; pully wheel?

Thanks for stepping in and doing the poll Howard - I owe you one. Been up in Newcastle since last Saturday after my mum became seriously ill. One o those 5am in the morning "get up here as soon as possible" calls you just dread. She had gone in re: a leg injury after a nasty fall and developed an infection which nearly did for her. Severe pain meant she was on high does of morphine and I feared she hadhad  major stroke but it was the drugs,infection and dehydration. She only started to come round yesterday ad it was like seeing my old mum back in the room when I went in this morning. It will be a long road to recovery and I guess I will be driving between Leeds and Newcastle a lot but looks like she is over the worst, She is 87, blind, pretty much immobile but what a fighter. Glad others entered and did not think I won`t bother if the subject setter didn`t but other priorities.
I`ll go and vote now!

Whoops! Just went to vote and saw Colin had stepped in before Howard got to it so thanks Colin. Come on Howard - you`ll have to move faster than that!

Glad to hear that your Mum is doing better.

Yep, Colin was out of the blocks too quickly for me - I was still doing my shopping when he was already done.
