I got down-hearted over the wind damage to my rose trellis this week. I know that’s not that big a deal in terms of international natural disasters but it rattled my cage and challenged my gardening instinct to remain optimistic about the ebbing and flowing of the seasons.
Yesterday the man came to fix it and, well, the world went wild with summer. What can I say but hello hot weather and hi to all these colourful hints of summer round the corner. I’m happy again now but then I’m a very superficial kind of person. I took these photographs yesterday and thought you’d like to see them too. I’m sorry you can’t smell them but that’s another story.
