Hello, Harry.

Finally, on my feet at last.
I spotted this "Harry Edland" rose in our local garden centre today. I must say, I think I've well and truly found my favourite variety.
I have never seen a species which resembled a paper rose so closely in my life before!
It's a large bloom, but with the softest lilac colour, like that of watercolour drops on parchment.
The scent was utterly overwhelming, but of course, in a lovely way.

Today the island is mirroring the tropics for climate, as is most of the UK I believe.
It's good to have the warm Solent breeze come by every once in a while. I do love the sun.

Feet up now on the patio whilst Lloyd washes the car.
