Nearly Made It

The Birthday Rose nearly made it in time for my big day. It's my birthday today and as you can see, the half standard rose which Hubby bought me as an early birthday present has just about bloomed in time. The photo which was attached to the plant showed a white rose with a light pink tinge, but I'm always wary of going by these photos as the flowers themselves often look nothing like. It looks as though it might be a good likeness in this case though.

The sun is shining, for a change, and as Hubby has the day off work, and the kids aren't back to school until tomorrow, we're heading off to Bridlington on Yorkshire's east coast for the day. I hope the weather stays fine.

  7. The rose in the photo looks really pretty, it will be great to see fully open. Was reading over your past posts. I haven't had any luck with squash or pumpkin. The courgettes have finally come around and getting regular supply. My tomatoes are ripening daily now (in sun room). I imagine yours will soon be ripening?

  17. Thank you for all your lovely comments, they made my day.

    We had a lovely day in Bridlington, calling in at Fraisthorpe on the way home so that Archie could have a run and play in the sea and rock pools. The sun shone all day and I got a little burnt.

    Kelli - Still no sign of my tomatoes ripening but I'm living in hope.

    Mark - The Birthday Rose was an early birthday present from Hubby, but other than that I didn't get anything for the garden, which is quite unusual. I did get a gorgeous hand painted vase off my son to display my cut blooms in though.
