It’s December so that means its “list season”
Suppose I better crack on with the list……

I sat down to write this week’s blog savouring the feeling of anticipation of a creative spurt.
I hoped to seek joy in the words I would write.
I sat, pencil in hand, staring at the blank page.
I sat poised to write.
I waited……
And I waited……
And I’m still sitting with the feeling of anticipation as I wait for the words to begin to flow….

Who remembers Audrey from The Little Shop of Horrors?
That was a plant once seen, never forgotten!
Last year, I bought my father an exotic orchid for his 80th birthday and set him the challenge to get it to flower. For over a year, the plant just sat there and stubbornly refused to flower. Then my parents went on holiday. With a couple of weeks peace and quiet to itself, it began to grow….
At first it looked as if it was just growing 2 new leaves then the flower bud began to swell…..
As soon as I saw it, it reminded me of Audrey!
Over a few days, the bud grew and grew then began to open out. Had Audrey been reincarnated here?
FEED ME! …. remember the song?
Feed me, feed me, feed me
Feed me, Seymour, feed me all night long
That’s right, boy, you can do it
Feed me, Seymour, feed me all night long
‘Cause if you feed me, Seymour
I can grow up big and strong
I did begin to wonder if I should be concerned for my parents’ safety with “Audrey” sprouting merrily in their kitchen!
But lo and behold, the bud opened to reveal the most unusual flower!
The flower itself continued to grow…….
At the time of writing this blog it hasn’t consumed anyone…..yet!
