3 World Cup Things:

Germany v Ghana, cracking match

Refereeing is good after a dodgy couple of matches at the start of the tournament

Messi, no substitute for class

So lovely.

[Maggiemae]

They have an interesting structure these flowers! Never seen a white one before though it has shades of pink in it!

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Constance Brinkley]

these are very beautiful flowers and Ghana was given a chance to stay in the game!

[Pat Knowles]

Haven't heard that name for an aquilegia for years...we never used to call these flowers by their posh names in the old days! Germany x Ghana was a real match....even I enjoyed it! The beat ours for skill hands down!
