Not a Dog rose, more properly Rosa rogosa

A day that took its own course. We were going on an early morning walk to avoid the heat of the day. That sort of happened but not in the way we originally intended.

Susan suggested we go to the beach for an early swim and replicate the day at Botany Bay last month. Sadly that did not happen owing to it being low tide this morning with high tide not until late afternoon.

So we walked locally and on the spur of the moment called in at the Cavendish cafe for an impromptu breakfast.

After that we just pottered, a bit of work, bit of dead heading, picking tomatoes, cooking, painting in the studio, Ukulele playing, watering to mention just a few. Hot again today, with more tomorrow which may be the last day for a while.

Today’s blip is of what I thought was a dog rose but it’s not it’s Rosa rugosa apparently, flowering at the same time as the hips in the background.
