I'm so pleased my red rose has done well this year, I don't like it when I receive a gift and it doesn't do as it should. The year has flown. I'm not sure if it feels that way just because I'm getting older, a scary thought.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-16876559008767559412015-09-01T19:43:27.365+01:002015-09-01T19:43:27.365+01:00I also go with the equinox Jo so I'm still liv...I also go with the equinox Jo so I'm still living in hope of some decent summer weather :) The weather has obviously suited that red rose though and you must have been so pleased to see it flourish this year.

I saw a similar version in a home I recently toured on a local "urban farm tour" day that was completely homemade. I haven't blogged about that day yet - there has just been too much to do this summer!! - but I'll have to look back at the photos to see how they did it. And that cornflower is beautiful - I've only ever seen them in their blue version.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-9299106472831621232015-08-29T19:54:59.737+01:002015-08-29T19:54:59.737+01:00Dalby Forest is brilliant, your boys would love it...Dalby Forest is brilliant, your boys would love it there, especially the Go Ape adventure park.
