Hot Chocolate Rose

I've never had so many blooms on this rose before. It has flowered early but it's lovely to see. I've had a quiet day I saved myself for a trip to Crosby beach tonight. I thought getting there about 7.30pm and it would be empty, was I wrong. It was heaving, fishermen, family groups with picnics, people swimming, walking, riding bikes  and even the ice cream man. I kept my distance and left before sunset as I was getting cold. So glad I went, I haven't downloaded the photos yet but put a phone shot as an extra.
