Roses Are...

Red Orange!

I went into town today with the intention of taking my tree photo for this month. I had a wander round town and bought a book from a charity shop despite the fact that I already own more books than I will probably read in my lifetime (I will give it a damn good go though!)

On the way home I spotted this lovely orange rose in the garden of the Vicarage. (I think an actual vicar lives there again now...) At first I thought I'd get a better shot if I nipped into the garden, but it proved inaccessible that way. So I leaned close to the fence and poked my phone through the railings to take this. 

As I moved back I realised that whilst I'd been concentrating on taking this a spider had spun some web onto my hair and was now dangling very close to my face! Not a pleasant experience though fortunately it was not a big spider - about the size of a penny including legs! Big enough though, at such close range!
