I'm a survivor

Thank you all for your interest and comments on my Madeira trip, especially your advice and help with my waterfall shot.

We flew back last night, into Heathrow with winds (holding patterns were fun and a bit of a challenge for our superb TAP pilot). It was a wonderful holiday - so short - but a very welcome blast of sunshine and exercise before the Christmas period.

So - returning to my garden, what did I find ? Yes, the lone rosebud has come through the force whateveritwas and has tentatively bloomed. She's a survivor indeed.
