A rose, a candle and the evening sky

Today was so dreich and wet that the only place I went to was the supermarket - and even then I was so dispirited I forgot to buy chocolate! However, when we were eating our dinner at an absurdly late hour, the sky began to clear and I remembered a blip was needed. So here is one of my lovely roses, rescued this morning in the wind and the rain, a candle left over from when it was dark at dinnertime, and a surprisingly clear and detailed glimpse of my back garden, complete with the thyme plant in the chimney pot and the two different pinks of the astilbe just flowering at the end of the path.

Hmm. Bet they make our legs wet in the morning, drooping over like that ...
