There’s a patch of untidy pots and other stuff down the back of the strip I use for vegetables. And in one of the pots was a yellow Lachanalia. Perfect to find after the storm that thundered and battered everything last night. I fully expected a power cut but not this time.
Seeing the yellow flowers made me remember how little yellow is available in clothes shops. I have two yellow jerseys and both were bought from opshops. I love them and love wearing them and there’s something about the colour that makes people smile.
Our response to colour is immediate. We either love it or hate it. I loved yellow from when I was quite small. I assume it was because after the long winter the sight of forsythia or kowhai or spring bulbs is a heart-lifting signal. Winter’s on its way out, let’s celebrate.
Yellow makes me feel happy.
What colour does that for you?
