Val's rose

The rose bush that my friend Val gave us a couple of years ago always blooms in July. Here it is on a dry day in July 2013. (There it was on a very wet day in July 2012 - what a contrast!)

Mr hazelh is still suffering with a pulled muscle in his back, and I also seem to be similarly afflicted, although not quite so badly :-(

Exercise today - St Mark's park evening route in 23'37", which is slow, but I swear that there is a lack of oxygen in the air at the moment!
