Windy day

Its Canterbury Anniversary Day today - we call it "Show Day" as there is a big Agricultural show on all weekend. Its a shame the weather has not cooperated and it is really windy.

Took lots of photos in mum's garden. Thought I be using one of Sutter's Gold which is a glorious golden rose with pink edges. It also has the most divine scent (not that I could have shared that). But I wasn't overly happy with any of them (I soooo neeeeed a macro lens Santa!!) but I quite like this early lacecap hydrangea, an under-rated plant in my view.

Mum cut me a big bucnch of flowers so the rose may yet appear.

Happy weekend all and happy 11/11/11!
