Roses are red

Summer has arrived, and instead of by the fire the evenings are now spent in the garden listening to the birds chirping and the vignerons finishing up for the day. We are watching M. et Mme Blackbird disguising their flight path to and from their nest they have built in one of the rose trees. I’m desperate to go and have a peak, but also so conscious they need their privacy. So for now I will be resisting.

The roses all around the house are now coming into flower. This beautiful deep velvet red climber on the front of the house is looking stunning as it blushes with colour.

Our days are still busy with our many projects, but it’s so good in the evenings to relax and feel the warmth of the sun, and enjoy the life in the garden.
