The Roses in full Bloom at Heywood

I feel that the roses at Heywood are putting on a good and final show after last years pitifull performance...the desprez a fleur Jaune and the Albertine and the Belle Isis are all in full bloom. I brought them home from Sissinghurst in Kent when I came to Alderley so many years ago, and they have never looked so beautiful. Quite what I can dig up and take will depend on my spade technique. mmm could be tricky.

Bed head and early morning hair

Rosa has brought new meaning to the title and I feel I am struggling to compete. I can always give it a good go though....

Barnsley and the gardens in full bloom

Very rarelysome occasions need no words. Its all terribly sad . Barnsley House. Just in bloom and at its peak. What can I say.
