in one corner of my garden leans a small hibiscus tree. it delights me with it's lime green leaves in late spring and it's vivid purple blooms towards the end of the summer.
during May it's skeleton frame it carpeted with the prettiest of small pale pink clematis flowers. this year it is particularly beautiful.
in the evening the perfume, usually soft and delicate becomes deliciously heady. i must remember bring a few blooms inside to scent the room.

today i have been taking photos of my beautiful old remington portable typewriter dated 15.9.30. it belonged to my great aunt. i remember when my grandfather gave it to me...i was about 1o and he had painted many of the levers and knobs with different coloured varnish so i could work out how to use it. the ribbon is almost out of ink now and i am not sure how to re -ink it...
it is one of my most favourite things not only for it's classic design but for the family history attached to it.... my aunt used it daily in her work. i am happy to say that it has never turned into a 'bug' ... if you have seen this film then you will know what i mean...
i love that you can see the upper and lower case letters on the metal typebars...it has such personality and i love the metal click click of the keys punching the paper. i have typed a few words for my request...
today i met with a friend for coffee (hi julie) and we were discusing our favourite words and how creatively an individual word can be interpreted in many different ways... i have seen how some bloggers have used words in 'wordplay' and find it fascinating and we thought that collecting words would be a good starting point for a joint creative exploration...if you would like to help please leave a comment including your favourite word or words.. they can be descriptive words , words that inspire you or just banal words that you like... not too rude though please although florence you already know my favourite rude word! we are not sure exactly what we will do with them yet but i will keep you posted as our ideas develop.
we hope you would like to share some of your favourite words... you don't need to explain why you like them, though if you would like to that would be great also... thank you and happy friday!
