From My Valentine ......

These are the roses TM brought home about two weeks ago - they were a shrieking orange then. Now they are wrinkled and faded into a much more subtle blend of pinks. I like them better now. Which is just as well as no red roses were forthcoming today.

We were busy with preparations for our local club's dance this evening.We feel we have to make an effort as we're rather out on a limb down here, and people from the other Borders towns have to  turn out in often poor weather to support us. 

It went well, the hall was full and the supper was impressive. The band played very fast. I think they wanted to get home before Storm Dennis arrives, we have an amber alert :-(

Now unwinding with a glass of wine and trying to ignore my throbbing feet. And the witching hour has passed, so strictly speaking this is a back blip.
