Generous Gardener

The name of the rose that is.

I'm still undecided if I am going to be a kind horticulturist and let the rose stay where it is on the patio. I think I will prune it back severely later in the year and see how it looks. Some friends called around this afternoon for tea/coffee and cakes, and they were impressed by the veranda. The rose does add a certain something to the ambience, but it is rather big and sprawling. I think it needs to be taken in hand.

A straight out of camera Abstract Thursday post for me, not something I usually do.

In other news we had a Skype call with daughter#2 this morning. The wifi cut out several times during the call, so it is still pretty unstable. I forgot to say yesterday that I asked the BT guy about Gigagclear, and if we would be able to sign up to a BT full fibre deal once the infrastructure is in place. He said no, we would have to stay with the current BT system, or switch fully to Gigaclear. Ironically he was with Gigaclear himself in Chipping Norton.
