A single rose

Every time I work from home, I always have plans to walk round the village and get some original photos to choose my blip from. And every time, I end up doing nothing of the sort! My excuse today is that it was really cold and windy.

So yet again, here we have a blip taken in our garden ;o) Although I love this rose, it is a great big half dead monstrosity growing up a trellis in the front garden - but with this one lovely stem with a flower & two buds on so I can't cut it down. It is going to get hacked right back at the end of the summer though, in the hope that it looks better next year.

Although it was cold and horrible weather today, it hadn't rained so I went out and watered all the plants and took this photo then. I was absolutely freezing, but persevered only for the rain to start as soon as I got back in. Not amused!

And tomorrow at work, the gas meter is apparently being replaced, so we've been told to come in in warm clothes! Clearly it wasn't possible to do that when it was warmer weather...

Roll on summer!
