Sorry about that – your link did not come through.
Always best to do it as both a pingback and leave your link in your comment. That helps overcome WordPress niggles.

In fact I see what went wrong – your pingback goes back to my challenge menu page which doesn’t take links – you need to link the Sunday post itself. But as I say it’s still safest to leave your link in your comment too

Yes, it would be good to see this start as a new trend. Though it could slow down your journey if this was what greeted you after your coffee and burger 🙂

Indeed. It was right at the entrance to a service station. I wondered if it was to advertise weddings, but there was no signage at all. Or maybe an attempt o sell the car while hiding the paintwork!

I was thinking did I have anything floral. I have heaps of flowers but did I have anything made of flowers. A quick look found a favourite from Florence
