Clematis montana var. rubens 'Pink Perfection'

A bit  of a quiet day as it has been chilly and showery. The Clematis  that grows over our front porch has been in bud for weeks because of the cold weather but, at last, the flowers have opened. They are very scented as well as being pretty, and the plant is very tough, having survived being hard pruned, when we've needed to paint the woodwork it grows over. We have  a couple  of other  Clematis  plants which flower later. They grow well on our thin, chalk, soil, so we probably ought to invest in a few more.  
Listened on Radio 4 Sounds to Alfie  Moore's "It's a Fair Cop"  (broadcast yesterday) which  was  the first programme in his new comic series about  the funny/ sad/ bizarre dilemmas which face police officers in their  daily work. He raises a lot of interesting  questions  about the law, and legal definitions, eg can you be accused of kidnapping a dog?  can a retired  police dog be used to apprehend a suspect? 
I think he's brilliant.
