some highs, some lows

 Laura made a beautiful wedding dress for a cliente, and hand painted the flowers cascading or climbing over it.  She made the top as well, and a sweet 'fairy' dress for the young bridesmaid.  I'm really proud of my clever daughter!  She was looking forward to a trip to London with her friends, but then the dreaded 'flu knocked her sideways.  A big disappointment.

Meanwhile R is still recovering from his 'flu.  We went in search of oranges, and on the way found this flock of sheep curving round the hill, coming out of a cork forest. An endless flow of sheep and lambs.

 Finally we found the abandoned orange grove and filled a laundry basket with delicious, ripe oranges.  We have been drinking pints of the juice to combat the dreaded lurgy.
