The sunset earlier in the week - these are the true colours, it was so spectacular.
A "Preview"evening at Hackets Florists and Gift shop in the market town of Penistone, South Yorkshire - sadly she seems to have no website, but it is a lovely little shop and brimming with Christmas goodies at the moment!! 
My Chocolate Cosmos - which I was assured would also smell of chocolate, but never did. They are in their final bloom now, but they have looked lovely by the back door.
Please let me know (by email) if you have problems leaving comments - and I'll see what I can do .

What a posh Christmas display in that shop!!!
My nose is all blocked up...so it doesn't matter if your Cosmos doesn't smell of chocolate, it's just lovely! ;-)
wHello.
I am having a bit of a 'finish up before I start anything else time at the moment. Which is actually quite nice!!
oooooh, fab sunset and equally fab shop!! Never knw you could get choccie smelling flowers, there'd be a risk of having bite shaped chunks out though here!

Hi Diane, lovely sunset, i love sunsets at Porthmeor,bet you've seen a few of those! Great shop, i do like looking at christmassy things, i love Christmas and i have my Birthday a few days before so always been doubley exciting for me, although the older you get......well, you know, not quite so exciting at 43!!!!!
Do you know what? The chocolate smelling cosmos have always been a disappointment to me. Have grown them a few times, but they never did smell of chocolate. :O(
I had dahlias that were meant to smell of chocolate and never did! we've been conned!

I didnt know that flowers could smell of chocolate.
I love all that silver Christmas sparkle, very sophisticated though I expect most of us have such a collection of decorations it would be impossible to have a single colour theme. If only.
What a gorgeous sunset - there have been some spectacular ones over the last few weeks. The wares in that shop look gorgeous and very elegant. I always wondered if those Chocolate scented flowers would actually smell of chocolate - now I know - still looks very pretty though:)
Lots of pretties in that shop, did you buy anything?
Had another look at the poster and yes I can see it's Julian Clary now, thanks for that!

Hello Diane, I have nominated you for an award (please visit my blog to find out more). I would like to say that you should not feel obligated in anyway to participate in this if you do not wish to but I was surprised to be sent this award so I thought I would like to let the bloggers whose work I love know that they are appreciated :)
Why is it cosmos always smells of chocolate in the garden centre but the minute you get it home its gone ?
Lovely pics.
