Sweet pea

I remember well the gorgeous, heavy fragrance of these sweet peas
in my childhood and teens ... their wonderful smell, which is somewhere
between lily-of-the-valley and honeysuckle.

Well, we've got some flowering in our back garden at the moment. Mrs C
spotted some young sweet pea plants at Bingham Market about 6 weeks ago,
bought them and then planted them out alongside our Summer Jasmine.
We've got the above flowers on our kitchen window-ledge at the moment,
and their heavenly scent makes doing the washing-up even more
pleasurable.

I've added two more photography sites onto my side-bar as you'll see.
I invite you to have a look at both Erin's and Mmechinita's sites and
the wonderful photographs that they've taken. On Erin's blog, there's
a link to her website, the slide-show part of which takes a minute or
two to start up ... well worth the wait, I think.

Erin watermarks her photos as you'll see, so I'll start doing the same,
as a mild deterrent to stop people pinching my pics for their sites.
However, anyone with photo-editing software could remove watermarks
fairly easily ...ideally you need to use an embedded digital
watermarking system, used by the large photo-stockists. I've used
Garamond Lucida Bright Italic as the font, by the way.
