good morning my bloggy friends...
it's friday...
my fave & best day of the week...
so, welcome to my *friday pretties*...
these lovely gals grow around & up the side of our front door...
in our garden...!
not a big feat for many of you, i know, but for this aussie gal a delightful part of my english spring days...
as i've said many a time, a lush garden of flowers, still so special & foreign to this girl who was raised to conserve water & grow succulents & daisies at best...makes me smile...& then smile a bit more...
isn't she just gorgeuos...little browning edges & all...
the beautiful, browning, vintage looking, older petals are in fact, the ones that make me want to plant a rose garden in our beach house garden at home in oz, when we eventually return...
roses falling over sydney sandstone rocks would be so lovely...
the watering issue i need to get passed...
how does one conserve water & have a thriving rose bush or four?
as i am not needing to get my head around these gardening-in-the-southern-hemisphere-issues right now...
i am instead drinking tea in the garden...& collecting petals & thanking the british weather for bringing our front door such lovelies...
& we all know that this is a very rare break from my
what i have realised over our three years living in the english countryside...
is that if the sun is out & you have roses in your garden...
then the washing can wait...
the banking can take a number...
&
the computer can re-charge all day...
you need to...you must...make a pot of tea & go sit in it...
it may only last for the pot...
it's fickle like that...british sunshine!
& if you have french chairs, dragged back under children's legs in a people mover, from a brocanting, beaching holiday last summer...
then you really owe it to those kiddos...who still regularly recall the squashiness of the trip...
to sit on them...& love them a little bit more covered in roses...
french chairs do not come home from road trip is australia...!
you may get more sun...but not french chairs!
so these *friday pretties*
