a joyous gerbera

It was my birthday at the weekend.

I'm a big kid when it comes to birthdays. I love them - not just mine, but those of friends and family. All the anticipation, the rustling of wrapping paper, the surprises, the happy faces...

My memories are filled with recollections of very happy birthdays. Luckily for me, despite being well out of my childhood, I find them no less special even now.

This particular birthday was another lovely day, summed up best, perhaps, by these gerberas.


Gerberas have always struck me as 'true' flowers. They have a simple structure, and come in the most glorious, bold and cheerful colours.

How very appropriate then, that on another very happy and sunny birthday, I should be given a bunch of these endearingly exuberant yellow blooms.
