I just wanna fly.....

Bugger all this politics - it's annoying after a while! Right now I'm taking real pleasure from watching the flowers in our garden coming into bloom. The Bougainvillea in the first picture which was planted a couple of months ago shed all its blooms as it adjusted but is now doing really well - behind it is a Jasmine which you can't really see in the picture but smells divine.

The flower in the second picture is a Bower Vine or Pandorea - I planted 3 varieties and they'll mask the ugly wall at the end of the garden in the course of time. I've surprised myself by getting a real thrill with each new blossom - the garden is tremendously relaxing and has become an extra room over the summer - you're more than welcome to drop by.

Brownie point if you can guess the reason for the title btw....

(..."Put your arms around me baby"....)

I would venture (in view of the subject matter) it is more likely to come from an early Oasis track of which Gilly was Definitely Maybe once rather fond:

"Maybe I don't really wanna know
How ya garden grows
Cos I just wanna fly"

Spot on as usual - no surprise there PP.
