First Flowers..

... on my climbing roses.



 Unfortunately I can't remember the names but they are old-fashioned roses with a beautiful scent.  The pink one was a present from my dear Dad, something to remember him by.

By The River..

First Post

This is my little bit of cyber space in which I post photos of my stitching and my garden and really just everyday life.
