The magnolia tree is bursting into flower, and looks lovely with its blanket of hellebores underneath. Spring is on the way

The last rose nestled among the first arrivals of spring 🌹

Some cheerful colour in the middle of winter 💛

The last of the roses, and a little early cheer 😊

Enjoying the last of the roses 🌹❤️

The rose may be a little weather battered, but the scent is out of this world 🫖🌹

2 pages from finishing the new book and I am Wrung out Spun dry Burnt down Bla Filled with more tea a mere human can comprehend So Remind me, why do I do this again??

The roses are a little battered by the weather, but are still cheery 💐
