Last hurrah..

from my roses that is... lots of blooms before their winter shut down and pruning.

I am sometimes amazed that they bloom at all, as I'm not the most consistent gardener. Aren't they lovely!

I've been a bit wrapped up in heritage stuff the last couple of weeks so I thought I would share one of the gorgeous houses open in Ipswich last weekend as part of the Heritage Festival. This is 'Toronto'.

And it is every bit as cute on the inside as it is on the outside! This is what it looked like in the 1970s.

Looks a bit different now!
