WOYWW 786 - the birthday edition

 Hello deskers,  it's Wednesday again, time for another WOYWW... You can find the link at it's new home of Sarah's Craft Shed  

What's on my desk today?  

not at all posed... some early birthday cards waiting for me to open then (by the time you see this they will probably be open)   and some champagne - help yourselves... although being staged of course it's not chilled...



65 today... not at all sure how that happened... 



I am spending the day at work, of course!  I did think about taking the day off but it wasn't possible due to other absences . 



I did a bit more to the "mop up" page from last week... then it got too hot and there was too much football on so I haven't done any more!



Last Saturday was of course Kew day...   and boy, since than has the way blogger uploads photos changed!!    

the early light on the poppies was amazing...


this is why it's worth getting up at 5 and going out at 6 to be at Kew by 8... especially if the sun comes out!

the scabious were lovely too 


I may be late getting round the desks again this week, but enjoy the champagne!!  it's yours in virtual reality! 


Happy WOYWW

  1. Well, Happy Birthday Helen. A bit early for me and the champers but, if you insist then I will.
    Lovely photos of the flowers, especially the poppy which is one of my favourite flowers, along with daisies.
    Keep going with the mop up page, you do them so well.
    Happy Birthday again.
    Hugs, Neet 2 xx

  7. Happy Birthday! I hadn’t realised it was a big one, enjoy your day even if it is spent in work. If you’ve got any orange juice going handy then a Bucks Fizz would be a real treat, lol!! Gorgeous flower pics, I love scabious and have loads in my garden, the bees love it!

  9. Happy birthday Helen. Enjoy your bubbly! There was a time when getting up that early in the summer was great, not so much now 🤣. Beautiful flowers, scabious is a horrible name don’t you think! Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
