The weather calmed down today.
This morning Flo swept up the smashed owl, and wove a ring from dried wisteria stems from which she suspended the wind chimes felled yesterday.
I spent most of the day producing and publishing https://derrickjknight.com/2023/08/06/the-trial-of-the-templars/
Early this evening I assisted Flo with her photography project. One of her photographs is the third in the gallery above.
Later we all dined on oven fish and chips, garden peas, pickled onions and sandwich gherkins with which I drank more of the GSM.
I love Flo’s ingenuity, making a new set of chimes from the old. That is a fine photo by her, too. I hope the summer gales trouble you no more.
Thank you so much, Lavinia
Brava to the chimes rescuer! It’s good you’ve gotten a respite from the high winds.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Yay Flo! Love the spirit of not giving up.
Thank you so much, Zakiah. I will let her know
So glad to hear the chimes were fixed Derrick????
Thank you very much, Arlene
Clever bit of recycling.
Thanks very much, Andrew
Well done Flo!
I’ll tell her, Clare. Thanks very much
Busy day after the raging storms of yesterday.
Thank you very much, Pat
That’s a clever re-use of things from the garden. And a good photograph.
Thanks very much, Quercus
Oh, Flo! How wonderful and so creative! Giving new life to those chimes! 🙂 Your photo is lovely, too! Very artistic! ❤️

Thank you so much, Carolyn. I will pass it on X
You’re welcome! and Thank You! 🙂
I suspect that chimes might drive me mad. Do they ever get annoying for you?
They are not that regular, Tootlepedal. Thanks very much
Yay, Flo!
I’ll tell her, Laurie. Thanks very much
Yeah to Flo …the “Chimes Of Freedom” shall ring again …

Cheers, Ivor.
Way to go, Flo! I casually make little simple wreaths from vines, but don’t do much with them. Now, I am inspired!
I’ll tell her, JoAnna. Thank you very much
I’m pleased the weather has improved. I just wish the cold will go away here. Neighbours tell us that it’s the coldest winter in at least 7 years. brrrr. I love chimes around and in the garden.
How clever of Flo! What a creative idea!
Thank you very much, Merril
You have quite the talented family.
I do. Thanks very much, GP
I am glad the chimes are back in working order. Great job, Flo!
Thanks very much, Eugi. I will tell Flo
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Glad to hear of a final improvement in your weather!
Thanks very much, John
well done Flo! happy your weather calmed down!
Thank you very much from us both, Wilma
Agree with GP. So creative. We have received important warning on weather. Fingers crossed.
Thank you very much, Rupali
As others have said better than I, it is great when instead of just tossing the whole thing away, someone makes it new again.
Are you familiar with Kintsugi?
Thanks very much, Rose. I have read about Kintsugi on WP, but, of course, forgotten its name, so thank you for the reminder 🙂
I love the way Flo wove the wisteria into ropes,
Thank you very much, Sue. Her beadwork with natural materials is incredible
So beautiful!
Thank you very much, Ribana
I am glad the chimes have been saved by Flo’s creative effort.
Thank you very much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
Lovely repurposing by Flo
Agreed. Thanks very much, Sheree
