Although still a little unsteady I have largely recovered from yesterday’s swimming head. I was therefore able to help Jackie load more refuse bags into the car and transport them to the Efford Recycling Centre.
I then attended to administration on which I hadn’t been able to concentrate the day before.
After lunch I wandered around the garden which had freshened up after much overnight rain. I have photographed flowers in situ, some still bejewelled by raindrops and two with bees.
The gallery images bear the titles of the main flowers in each picture.
By dinner time I was fully recovered. Our meal consisted of fat-free Ferndene pork and chive sausages; creamy mashed potatoes; carrots, cauliflower, and cabbage all well cooked, with meaty gravy.
Congratulations on feeling so much better and regaining the ability to get chores accomplished. Dinner sounds great.
Thanks very much, Pat
Beautiful photos, Derrick, and I am glad you feel better!! 😎
Garden looks gorgeous
Thank you very much, Catherine
Beautiful garden, Derrick. I am delighted to read that you are feeling better!
Thank you so much, Donna
Glad you are feeling better!
Such a green thumb!!!
Thank you very much, Sweet
Lovely photos! The raindrops and bees on Sweet Peas is so beautiful! The Pineapple Plants and The Grandparents are a wonderful photo-duo!
So glad you are feeling better!
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
Thank you very much, Carolyn XX
I’m happy to hear you’ve recovered, Derrick. The garden looks beautiful.
“Raindrops on Compassion” would make a great title. 🙂
It would, Merril. Thank you very much
You’re welcome, Derrick!
I can just imagine the beautiful aromas while walking in your garden.
Thanks very much, Chrissy
All the flowers are looking spritely and fresh Derrick … and coincidentally I photographed some bees yesterday

Well done. Thanks very much
They were very and didn’t mind me getting close ups
I am so pleased you are feeling better. Do you think it was a virus? My husband had something similar a few weeks ago which lasted a couple of days and was most unpleasant.
Beautiful flowers!
Thank you very much, Clare. That is encouraging. Yes, I think it was – possibly picked up in the hospital waiting room where lots of people came and went over the 2 and a half hours.
Glad you are fully recovered. Weren’t you due for follow-up exams in August? (Time doth fly)
Thank you very much for asking, Brian. This post explains the plan: https://derrickjknight.com/2024/08/02/bcg/
I will echo the others. So glad you are feeling better. Wonderful tour of your beautiful garden.
Thank you very much, Laurie
So glad that you’re feeling better, Derrick <3 Nothing like rain to give new life to flowering plants 🙂
Thank you very much, Rosaliene XX
I looks like the plants enjoyed the shower. I am glad you are feeling better.
Thank you very much, Bridget
I’m very glad you’re feeling better. The walk in your beautiful garden must have added to your recovery.
Thank you very much JoAnna
I am glad you have recovered and your photos are beautiful as always.
Thank you very much, Lakshmi
This certainly looks like a ‘summer garden,’ as opposed to a spring garden. I’m glad you were feeling well enough to go out and enjoy it!
Thank you so much, Linda
I am glad you are feeling better, Derrick, and I hope you are not overtaxing yourself. Raindrops on Compassion is fabulous, the bees are as busy as could be, and the rest of the photos are just as lovely.
Thank you so much, Dolly. I’ll probably stay indoors today XX
I’m so glad you’re feeling better, Derrick.
Thank you very much, Alys
Your pretty garden is a therapeutic place to be. I am glad you appear to have recovered so quickly and can resume admin work – the very sort of task that makes me want to take to my bed!
Thanks very much, Anne
I’m so glad you’re feeling better. Supper sounds delicious. I’ve never had fat free sausages, I’ve only tried low fat ones.
Thanks very much, Sue. We call them fat-free because they have none to come out when heated, so if we don’t add oil they stick to the pan. The only other place I have found such surprises was in my local butcher’s in Sigoules
I found that a Morrison’s own brand had far less fat than the sausages that were advertised as low fat!
Glad you’re feeling better, Derrick 🙂
Thank you very much, Sandra
I’d sure get better if I knew a dinner like that was waiting for me!!
Thank you so much, GP
Yes. Dinner does sound good.
Thank you very much, Judy
I appreciate all the flower names.
Thank you very much, Sherry
Beautiful captures Derrick. So glad you are feeling better.
Thank you very much, Val
Glad you are feeling better. Beautiful pictures from your garden.
Thank you very much, Andy
Your lovely garden must help you to recover, I would think.
Your pictures bring to mind these words from the song My Favourite Things about raindrops on roses https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0IagRZBvLtw
Thank you very much, Robbie. I think you would like this post: https://derrickjknight.com/2021/08/10/julie-andrews/

So glad to read that you are fully recovered, Derrick. Hooray! Beautiful photos of your phenomenal garden!!
Thank you very much, Jan. It is good to know that you have been here
So pleased that you are recovering so well.
Thank you very much, Gary
The flowers look lovely after the rain, but your gardens always looks beautiful, Derrick and Jackie!
Glad you are recovering.
Thank you very much from each of us, Lavinia
I never tire of looking at photos of your splendid garden
Thank you very much, Sheree

I’ve never heard of fat-free sausages. I’ll have to look for some.
