In the pink

The Nozomi roses in containers in the front garden are cascading down the slope, and at present they're full of small pink flowers. Lots of other pink flowers too - two sorts of delicate pink geraniums, pink fleabane, and masses of valerian.

Summer Solstice, but we didn't rise to celebrate at dawn. It may be the official start of summer, but it's the beginning of the end of long summer days, so there's an element of sadness there too. In this house it isn't helped by MrM harping on about "the nights are drawing in"!
