Indeed it was. 😎

That’s encouraging. Here the ground is so wet, it’s going to weeks to dry out. 🫤

The best kind of paperweight! 😸

‘Cornelia’ hybrid musk #rose and friends. Endless rain, a swamp-like garden - it’s a challenge to remain positive, reminding myself it’s just 25 days to meteorological spring!
Blue sky and sunshine this morning - hope it’s the same for everyone. #RoseWednesday 🌱

Oh January! What a long month you have been! Pleased to see you are making an effort with some weak and watery sunshine. Hope it’s the same for everyone. #roses 🌱

For #ThrowbackThursday it’s Bright and Breezy, and Simply the Best, seen at #rhswisley last September.
Have a good day everyone, take care, stay dry if you can. #roses 🌱

We have a brief respite from rain today, which will allow the sitting water to soak away. Hope you’re all safe and dry. Take care. #roses 🌱

Endless temptation isn’t there… 🙂

Have just been reminded that this is the last Sunday in endless January. Mustn’t wish our lives away, but I for one will be pleased to start a new month. Happy Sunday everyone, have a good day.
