A Year In The Life Of ...

By Gruffalo

Memories No.1

There will probably be a few memory blips over the next month or so, for one reason or another.

Todays memory blip is the Rambling Rose at the top of my Garden, which was planted by my Father over 45yrs ago, when the house I live in belonged to my Parents, he used to have an Aviary full of canaries and wild birds, and it was built around the Rose Tree, years later he decided to go back to his Pigeon flying so the aviary was dismantled, but the Rose Tree remained, it doesnt matter how we hack it in the winter, and we cut it down to an inch of its life, it blooms every year with hundreds of small roses.

This is one Rose Tree that I will never dig up and destroy, as a couple of years ago, I decided to have a Rose Tree free garden, as I wanted more shrubs but I just could not bring myself to get rid of this one.

Heres hoping its here for another 45 yrs.
