"[...] I have made a start. The white cat looks down at me from a tree. Nesting birds watch anxiously from ivy grandstands. Bluebells, their buds still near to their roots, perilously close to the badger setts, promise a show in May; and, altogether, I have made a start. Making a start is the thing. One cannot do it often enough."
Ronald Blythe, In the Artist's Garden.
The sweet pea is Almost Black.

That is a stunning and very sophisticated looking sweet pea.

I 'make a start' very frequently on all sorts of things - am truly excellent at it. However the 'successfully finishing' part of a project I find oddly elusive...... any advice?

Right. It's time to order this book!

That is an astounding colour, is it perfectly perfumed?
