It does! I also need to stop the travelling and that is very much the plan.

Hello - have a good day.

Morning all, a cloudyish day ahead. Today’s dance is the start the weekend disco - it’s been a long week.

Today’s favourite rose - Claire Austin - long flowering and a good ivory coloured rose. #roses #myroses #mygarden #gardening

Today’s favourite rose from a recent garden visit - no idea of name but I love how it reflects pink towards its centre. #roses #gardening

G’evening - I’ve been stuck in meetings all day so hardly seen the weather, I did see a glimpse of sun briefly earlier.

Today’s favourite rose - not in my garden - don’t know its name but gosh it’s shining as bright as the sun. #roses #gardening

I like the look of this rose - I am a stripy rose convert xx

Anyone for Raspberry Ripple? The King’s Rose that is. Every bloom is a surprising swirl of pink and creamy white petals.
Bred by David Austin Roses.
Happy Sunday everyone, take care. #roses 🌱

Morning, it is still very dry here despite having some recent rain. I was watering plants in pots yesterday. Have a good day.

Morning all, a foggy start to the day. Hopefully there will be some gardening time later.
