I had various Red Images jostling for position on this last day of #SimplyRed. But yesterday, enjoying a cup of coffee with friends in our village’s Community Garden, I realised that what I want to celebrate today is … Community. Specifically the one that Becky has built up, in which the Squarers in particular have the chance to visit old friends and make new ones, and just generally enjoy the world-wide connections that blogging brings to our lives. Thank you Becky. Here are some flowers from our Community Garden. Very few, unfortunately, are red. So I’ve squeezed a clump of pink ones in as well.
Also, probably the first entry of the end of the month for Brian’s Last on the Card.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
That’s a nice thought, Margaret, and typical of you! Wishing you a happy August xx

It’ll be half full of Spanish Visitors, so … not peaceful. You’re having your own version I think? xx

We have a few patches of what used to be called guerilla gardening dotted around the city. I Iove them – beautifully planted and well looked after.

What a lovely way to end the month! And you’re right about the way a community has grown up around Squares – Becky has really created something special ❤️
On a separate note, when do your visitors arrive? We’ll be in Masham from 23rd-25th August but I suspect we clash?

Great photos and kudos to the community! As for your colors today……if you focus on the three components of light – red, green, and blue…. there is red in everything! All red is 255 red, 0 green and 0 blue. Orange depending on the shade could be 255 red, 165 green, and 0 blue, and pink could be 255 red, 192 green, and 203 blue… it’s all in how you look at!
