Cee’s Flower of the Day
Between grass and fading shepherd’s purse a small cluster of Ornithogalum appeared, also known as Star of Bethlehem. This symbolic flower stands for hope, trust, honesty, solidarity and compassion.
Our thoughts are with our friends in Palestine and Israel and we hope a peaceful way forward can be found for the highest good of all.

Rag Tag Daily Prompt: Cherish
I am very grateful for all the amazing work the health service and everyone else who is making a positive difference is currently doing.
Following the example of Spain, France, The Netherlands and India, the UK is now organising a #clapforourcarers event on Thursday 26th March at 8pm where we can show our appreciation with a massive round of applause. You can clap your hands on your doorstep, balcony or indoors and share it online through social media.
Hoping you all stay safe and well,
with love from Xenia xxx
