Scrappy clematis with visitor

First bloom. Haven't yet found a permanent home for the clematises my sister gave us. Probably been a bit stressed with the terrible heat, though we have been watering them.

After working from home, we went to the cinema for the first time in ages - yes, to see that classic, Minions: the Rise of Gru. Super-excellent. After, poppadoms, onion bhajis and salmon tikka at the tandoori.

3 good things
1. Love the smell of the cinema, so evocative (popcorn basically).
2. Cool weather remains and no torrential rainstorms our way.
3. So cool in fact, I decided to have an indoors lunch and pick up where I left off months ago with The Looming Tower - the drama about the lead-up to 9/11 and the feuding between the FBI and the CIA.

I like how you composed the shot - rim of pot and great purple colour.

Head in the sun, feet in the cool, that's what I learnt about clematis. Not that I have much success!! Did you wear a suit to the minion film?? Looming Tower is excellent and quite jaw dropping in some ways. Enjoy!

Lovely pop of purple! It’s going to be a beauty when you find it somewhere to live & settle!

@stowgarden ha ha, no we didn't, might not have got in, as some cinemas have been banning people in suits (well teenagers actually so think we'd have been alright 🤣)

It is beautiful. The smell of popcorn at the movies is the best!
