The first time he got her flowers, it was an assortment of pink,
orange and yellow roses with exotic Peruvian lilies. She was young then and overwhelmed by the
gesture of romance.
Only much later when she stripped back the fragments of
their lives that all the pieces of the puzzle fell in to reveal the truth about
the bouquets.
Vibrant Gerberas to replace the colour missing her life, the
roses in shades of pink, orange and lavender, flowers for each act of betrayal.
She would have flushed his ashes but Blood & Bone Mix is
an excellent plant starter.
On Friday we had little detour of 250 kms after we missed a turn driving from Brisbane to Sydney. First miss on a route we've been driving for 16 years but then it's holiday time with family after being the weekend visitor for the past few months.
