It was lovely to see some of my old favourites flowering during my visit to "the farm". Although a couple of my roses have not survived, it was nice to see the pink flourishing. I don't know the name, but it is so soft and reminds me of silk. I just adore the way the petals are so fine the sun can appear to shine right through them.

I managed to clear a fair amount of the weeds but there is a long way to go...and know by the time I get a chance to get back they will have returned in abundance.
While on the subject of flowers and gardens, my neighbour a few properties down from "the farm" called up for a coffee one day, and brought me this lovely rose from her garden. It is a lavender, although it photographed pink,but I dont know the name of it for any rose enthusiasts.

Another afternoon we went down to theirs for drinkies in the afternoon, and I had a lovely wander round Julie's garden with her. She has some beautiful roses and it was nice to see her lovely garden thriving.
