It was an evening full of summer sunshine which I spent otherwise engaged some 80 miles away from the Hill – however I did nod a ‘hello’ to Bilbo at the signs saying ‘Preston & the North’ when I turned & headed for home.I did mean to post this picture of the self-seeded offspring of last year’s competition sunflower, which I took yesterday – it’s flowering at about 5’ so would be rubbish in this years challenge.
This year’s sunflower is about the same height, but no sign of a flower yet – which is good news – and it seems to grow while you watch it!
I hope you were paying attention to the road when you nodded at the "Preston & North" sign.
