Friday flowers...a very late, or early rose


This is Ambridge Rose, a lovely David Austin that I planted last winter. It has been pretty slow to get going and I was surprised that it has decided to flower now. I am assuming it's just very late and not very early for spring?


The garden really is looking pretty scrappy at the moment, but I suppose that's fair, it being winter and all :)


The bulbs are the one thing that are doing well. This is the front path and at the moment it's full of earlicheer and daffs.


My iTouch camera doesn't cope well with high contrast but you get the idea.
I have been photographing a bunch or tulips every day this week, you can see them in my instagram feed on the right. I'm still snapping away so will post those next week.

Well, almost the weekend. I'm meeting up with the girls after work today so looking forward to that, but have a busy weekend at work ahead.
How about you? I hope it's more relaxing than me.
Thanks for all of your well-wishes for my baby niece, Hannah. She is doing well and big sister Nicola (4and a half years old) is really cute with her.
Hugs xx

  1. I'm enjoying those tulips on Instagram Sarah and how wonderful to get a winter rose in your garden. This weekend will see us doing a lot of socialising which is lovely but typical of how it goes for us...it's either a feast or famine!
