The tally of hits on my blog has just gone over 4000. So a big thank you to all the people who pop in to read posts, who have clicked “follow”, who link from Facebook and Linkedin or via search engines.
I’m glad you are out there and give my blog your attention. It spurs me on to keep writing and taking photos.
Flowers are often given as thank you gifts so here is a photo, taken today, of my Aladdin patio rose, flowering abundantly for the second time this season. Enjoy and thank you!

Congratulations Lynley, that’s a great tally. Love your patio rose.
Thanks Juliet. The rose is amazing despite the gales that have battered it from time to time over this summer. We really enjoy it.
Congratulations Lynley – and the rose is beautiful. They are even doing well in my sadly neglected garden this year. Must love all the rain!
Thanks Judith. The roses are certainly troopers.
Well done, and thank you for the rose picture – very welcome on a dark sub-zero morning!
That sounds grim Jo. I hope the rose shed some light your way.
It’s exciting when we reach these milestones – one of the satisfactions of blogging. Your rose is a beautiful present for all of us.
You are right Ruth, the milestones do provide incentive to continue.
Thank You!

Thank you for the lovely roses as I look outside and see snow on my garden 🙂
I hope you could feel some summer sunshine and warmth in the photo of the roses Judy.
