Pictures of Emm
I love flowers. Sadly, however, they do not love me. Emma and I live in a picturesque stone cottage which would appear naked without the colourful exuberance of flowers - jasmine around the door, roses framing the windows, fuchsia and marigolds in hanging baskets and window-boxes. They look beautiful and - so I am told - smell divine. Emma loves flowers with a passion, and treats them with the same tender loving care as she gives me. She regularly wins first prize in the Our-Village-in-bloom competition. But the said blooms remain outdoor, where I can admire them from a safe distance or from the other side of a window pane. Indoors, the constant, gentle purr of the air purifier ensures that the atmosphere is pollen-free. Unable to bring real flowers into the house, we must be content with artificial ones, as seen on the left. Purists may scoff, but we find them pleasing to the eye. The phoney flowers aren’t bad, either.
