Ive found a front garden which is just so beautiful, it has a small lawn surrounded with roses, phlox, daylilies crocosmia rudbeckia, all sorts of cottage garden plants, but mostly roses, it is stunningly beautuful, ive taken to walking the dog past there for an excuse to look!
I spoke to the lady whos garden it is, she told me she collects David Austin roses and has around 60! Will try and get you all a pic if i get to know her better, as i think it would be weird otherwise!
So true especially when the sun shines through! Wouldn't mind but my one treat in life is I have a window cleaner to do just my front outside and I paid him upfront for the rest of the year and now I don't think he has been back past couple of months
MrsT I have been contemplating my berberis ( whisper it as seen from the front garden, down the side garden and just into the back) see photo
having just finished pruning the Philodelphus I'm not sure I can face it! I can't prune it too hard as there will be berries in the autumn, so I will be take out the old branches and, yes, it will be thorny. The contemplation goes on, maybe it will rain before tomorrow!

Once we had a Japanese guy taking pics of our Beau when he was looking out of our front window! Now that's weird lol
Or he was gonna report me to the dirty window police!
