I love peonies. I've been hankering after a bush for a few years, and then when we moved into our new place I found one hiding behind the gate. The buds have already started - I love those packed spherical buds almost as much as the blowsy blooms.Annie Clarkson is the fourth of our 100 readers - and wins the best photo so far. Go read her interview, and you can also see the first proper review of The Blue Handbag on her site here. Where will her book go next?
Finally I liked this quote on the wonderful whiskey river recently - reminds me a bit of my article on slowing down. Writing is my 'one thing I ought to do' at the moment. What's yours?
"The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. It is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else - we are the busiest people in the world."- Eric Hoffer

Beautiful peonies - and I love Annie's review.
Finding plants is such fun. We found two camellias some time after moving in. Both were hidden by bigger unruly shrubs in front of them. They seem to like shadey corners. One is shocking pink, the other just perfect white.
It was a lovely review!
jem - what a lovely find, I don't have any camelias and I'm pretty sure we don't have any hiding...
