This is so beautiful, Beryl! Well it’s good that they are moving quickly on your shoulder replacement, instead of ignoring you for months. Will be so good to get this behind you.

lovely shot, and even the frame is half half.

I love seeing your garden. And like the forgetmenots brightening the dark corner of the pic.

Your photo has so much eye appeal. The poppy is beautiful and the added blue flowers add so much to the green background. Well done! fav

Love your diagonal half and half with the gorgeous poppy. Good news concerning you shoulder lets hope it gets the ball rolling quite quickly.

Wow that’s quick work….it would be wonderful to get your op over & done with quickly. Your surgeon has worked wonders….you must have been a very good patient patient so your reward!
Lovely orange poppy!

Lovely h&h! I especially love the poppy!
Good news about your anaesthetic assessment having come through. Maybe the hospitals are getting to grips a bit more with treating people!

So pretty with your bold orange poppy in the foreground. Fav (and great news about your assessment coming up next week, Beryl. You're getting closer)

@carole_sandford My consultant is based at the Orthopaedic Hosp ,and can get a slot quicker there than at the gen local Hosp. - drawback being a specialised hosp they do not have facilities ie IT or IC . if anything went wrong ! so the Anaesthetist's pre op . examination , if too risky then perhaps it can be done at a later date when a slot in the theatre at the PRH ( local hosp is available)! Quite nerve racking !!!!

[Carole Sandford]

@beryl i suppose it is a bit uncertain, “we’re going to do this, but we might do that etc” but at least you are on the radar 😊

[Kerry McCarthy]

Very pretty flower! Looks like a lovely garden. It'll be good to get your surgery done so you start healing and feeling better. Of course, let them determine the safest place for you!

[Shutterbug]

Love the frame and this creative approach to the half&half. Beautiful flower shot.
