The roses are blooming beautifully...

... in the gardens of Tynemouth...
The sea fret returned for much of the day today, so the light was generally poor. This rose, however, looked as if it was on fire as we nipped round to the Co-op at about 5pm - and the best of the day was a walk along the front after that. We watched a wedding photographer taking some shots on the headland with a drone... it all seemed a bit unnecessary...
