At last …..

….. ….. ….. some flowers on my Margaret Merrill rose bush. The first rose was supposed to be MM but it wasn’t. Then my present bush arrived, a weak miserable specimen which almost persuaded me to part company with it. It’s been worth the wait as these blooms are lovely, with a perfume to match.

I walked around the Matakauri wetlands with a friend this morning, shopped on the way home, and finished making the hummus and other stuff. Countdown to Saturday’s departure for Christchurch is feeling closer!
