In the pink

This is a rose which I bought five years ago and planted in what I thought would become a rose garden. But I hadn't banked on how much possums love eating rose shoots. It got eaten down again and again, until I dug it out and put it into a big pot. 

It now sits just outside my sleeping cabin where it has been nurtured, and hasn't been nibbled at all. It is the first year it has flowered. I had completely forgotten it was pink: and a delightful shade at that.

I have no time to write a long Blip today. I've been invited out to dinner and am running to feed Bean, change into clean clothes and hit the road....

Busy day. Happy day...
