Having a troublesome day full of thorny problems I ventured into the garden for fresh air and inspiration but came across this enormous bramble. Being a bit of an optimist and philosopher I noted that thorny branches often bear fruit or flowers and told myself my troubles would soon become memories. This one, however, was viciously hacked off and chopped into the bin. I felt a lot better ;)
Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my 'sparks' shot yesterday - George only burned one set of old notes but it still felt better! Have a marvellous long weekend :)
You have no idea how much of this we have hacked and slashed in our garden! We still have enough fruit bearing thorns though ;o) Lovely purpley background in this spiky shot xx
