Ignorance is like a delicate fruit; touch it, and the bloom is gone.

I woke up this morning and saw that my cactus plant bloomed its magnificent fuschia flowers overnight. The blooms only last for one day and I'm so fortunate to be back home in time to have have witnessed this. Isn't this just beyond lovely?

I hope this will placate those who have been eagerly waiting for updates from my UK trip. I'm still in a jetlag/cold haze and when I sort myself into one piece again, I'll try to make sense of what was possibly one of the best holidays I've ever had. May has always treated me well.
