Still.... Hope you're not getting bored. This is a smallish but beautifully elegant pink magnolia that I see on the morning run to school (which I do if I'm going on early to the supermarket - I can't abide more than three people in each aisle...) It's just on a busy bend in the road and it motivated me to get out and do a longer walk than intended. It's in the pretty little garden of St Botolph's church which is now considered to be very central but originally stood at the south gate to the city, and near the bridge from the west. St Botolph, a 7th century East Anglian abbot, is the patron saint of travellers and gave his name to Boston in Lincolnshire and then to Boston Mass.
The highways people have been busy patching our road today which would be fine if it had shown more than very minimal wear and tear...you can break your neck on the pavements though.
Three good things:
1. Periodically you could read the time on the sundials.
2. Lovely generous response to my letter collage.
3. A beautiful evening.
I saw this when I was in Cambridge last Friday and took a couple of pics but didn't post one. Lovely soft pink - the magnolias are really lovely at the moment
I would love to transplant this in my garden, just the sort I want. You don't like crowds then Judith , made me laugh when I saw that about no more than three in the isle!
