THE COURTYARD:

When you come to see me, you will come up the driveway & enter the courtyard from the right, bottom photo, & be met by this lovely German climbing rose, Uetersen. Some books give it the fancy name of Rosarium Uetersen. A bit uppity ! Spikes will describe this as an ‘in your face pink’ & she is probably right. But it is a great rose & one that certainly lights up the courtyard. Looking at the same bottom pic, if you look hard in the top left corner, you will see my hanging bell, which you will ring to announce your arrival. Behind is my front door with red geraniums in blue pots. You have arrived. WELCOME !

An absolute cracker of a day. Blue sky, hot sunshine. The Monday walkers will be loving it, or complaining it’s too hot !
