When John and I were out for our walk I noticed that the cape weed daisies were everywhere and, for reasons unknown, I felt compelled to bend down and pick some.
When we got home I decided to chain them together and it brought back wonderful memories of childhood summers when we had no cares or responsibilities and could lie all day in the long grass and join daisies together. I wonder if children today still do this. As we got older we pulled the petals off the daisies and asked them if a certain boy 'loved us'.
If I have a grand-daughter, I will teach her how to make daisy chains and if I have a grandson I would like to teach him too, but his father might not approve!

Such gorgeous photos and pretty colours! You have made me smile once more - our childhood certainly did give us wonderful memories. I still have to pick a bunch of flowers on Saturday morning as I did for Mum almost every week. Your grandchild will be so lucky to have you nearby.

I was just googling daisy chains, as I am doing a scrapbook page of my brother and I, as youngsters in the 1970's, and we used to make daisy chains, even though I was allergic to bee stings, and they were buzzing about! Such a beautiful memory of a simple carefree childhood. I know yourpost is 12 years old, but thankyou for sharing the memory!
