Looking towards the cottage through the middle rose border.

What a pretty view :-)

Thank you :O)

Oh that is lovely Barbara ... :o)

Thank you Shirley, isn't it great to see all the hard work paying off. Those roses look great too at the moment, hope they have lots of flowers on them soon. :O)

That is so delightful, how old is your cottage?

I'm sure they will Barbara - I spotted one open bloom on 'Arthur Bell' today ... :o)

DD think it was built around 1875 or so the estate agents informed my daughter many years ago when she was doing an investigative piece for school work. Thank you all for enjoying the picture. :O)

Goodness so lots of character then?

It was an old gamekeepers cottage, many years ago. They still shoot in the wood our neighbour is a farmer and he runs the shoot. Paul is into shooting so it still is connected with the olde world. lol. which is good. Although it would be nice to have a neighbour closer by to have a coffee with occasionally. lol. and swap plants with of course. lol :O)
