SNOW GOOSE

This deliciously scented wee rambler has survived benign neglect in an overgrown area of the garden and is flowering it's wee socks off.

Literally ran round the garden this morning, pulling weeds, staking plants, harvesting rasps, tatties and broad beans. This was partly due to increased energy brought on by the cooler air and partly in a wild dash to get it all done before the rain came. It's just arrived, with a lot of flashes and bangs.

Now inside with a plan to write course materials, to read and tidy up the dunny and freezer - I need to make space for the glut. Or I might just laze around all day. You never know.
