I'm not used to sewing and sticking - completely out of my comfort zone; it was demanding but at the same time very satisfying when the results turn out like these three books. The left hand book needs a little bit more work to finish it off but it's nearly there and I will use it for my personal thoughts which are not for sharing here.

This is the first time since we moved in that it has flowered which is really good news. The watering with Ericaceous feed must be working.

I look forward to the other buds blooming in the coming week...
