The Brownie

This amazing rose was shining bright on an exposed bed at Hyde Hall this afternoon. Bearing in mind the weather we've had in recent weeks it's obviously very robust as well as being beautiful and will go on my wish list.
Hyde Hall is in Essex which is my old stomping ground and just like my little friend here it's true what they say about Essex girls - we are the last to leave the party!

Help! This is the second time I've published this and I really hope it comes out this time. It happened yesterday as well, any clues anyone?
