Friday Roundup.

The week has finished better than some of the days in between.  Yesterday was rather a write off for me as I endured a pain flare, which thankfully has eased off somewhat today.  

I took the dogs for a lovely walk to see my elderly friend this afternoon.  Unfortunately her husband had a nasty fall and broke his hip at the beginning of May, and then just yesterday they discovered he had also fractured his spine - why they didn't do full checks a month ago who knows, especially as he is over 90!

Around the garden this week:


Souvenir Du Dr. Jarmain


This is looking spectacular and the first time I think I have been able to capture its true colour.


A fly


Birthday Girl


Hover fly - not the best of photos, but at least I managed to capture it on film.


The Blue Tits have successfully hatched their young, who are rather demanding!


Jasmine is starting to flower beautifully and smells really lovely.


Mr Stanley Handsome.


Another newt photo!

  1. That first Rose with its deep dark colour is amazing.
    Great pics of the flies. I'm sure it's not easy to find any that hold still long enough.
