We were in Killarney at the weekend and I noticed this magnificent floral display:
Fairplay to the people who planted the planters and regularly feed, dead head and water the plants. They are a credit to you all!
The bees like them too. I think plants soften the street scape. I think I have just invented a new word: streetscape. Well it's new to my vocabulary any way.
Folk often use the term "urban landscape". "Street scene" is also quite common but I like your new word "streetscape". It really does the trick... I think I might invent a new word. Let's see... a "jaycee" = a nice lady who lives on an island.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that YP. We've both invented two words today: "JayCee admired the Manx flowers growing in the "streetscape".
ReplyDeleteNorthsider and Pudding Ltd were commissioned to create a mural of a jaycee to improve the streetscape. She was depicted wearing a polka dot bikini. Then they went down to "The Red Lion" to quaff copious pints of Foaming English bitter and chomp on Melton Mowbray pork pies with pickled onions.
DeleteI think you have just waxed lyrically about English Heaven. Who needs Saatchi and Saatchi? 😃
ReplyDeleteWow! That is quite an impressive pot of petunias there!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debby. The Petunias trumpet like flowers put on an amazing display.
DeleteHey, you two! Don't you know that I own the patent for the exclusive use of the word jaycee. You now both owe me £100,000 for its unauthorised use.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers there in that streetscape, northsider

DeleteI will write you a cheque and send it to JayCee Towers IOM. Aren't the flowers magnificent?
ReplyDeleteDidn't they represent those property renovators Bodge it and Scarper?😊
