Updating an old blog from April 2011,

in april 2011 my lovely neighbour Paul was throwing away a wrought iron gate but asked me if I could make use of it before he took it to the tip.
Well I was only too glad to take it , then I did a blog showing how I had made a feature of it and what I had planted up it.
This is the photo I showed you, you can see at the right hand side a small climber rose that I planted.
and this is one taken earlier on today to show you how the rose `Love Knot` is doing.
I also noticed how the Rose `phylis bides` shown on my latest blog on 7th of this month was really blooming lovely.lol.
We had a break of about an hour from the rain and just as I decided I could do a bit in the garden down it came again, thus the reason for this blog as I couldn`t show you any gardening I had done. Just hope things improve for the Jazz festival held at Upton on seven this week-end.
Wouldn`t it be nice if we could just have two or three days of sunshine to get things done.

What a good idea, Stroller. The weather here in lincolnshire is awful. Rain and its forecast more of the same for the next few days. Going to have one big sulk , now! Lol.

yes, I thought it was briliant when you first placed it, and it lookes fantastic now with that lovely rose. The one on the arch is also beautiful....oh, I do hope the rain doesn't ruin them.

I remember when you showed the gate in the other blog. I'm pleased the rose is doing so well, and the Phylis Bides is lovely too :o)
It's been raining here too ... all day long. I hope we all get some summer weather soon ...

It makes a lovely feature, clever you, I also like your Barrel with the little statue and I must agree Phlyis Bydes is looking stunning!"
Heavy showers all day here and it is just going very darl and threatening so looks like more to come;0(

Thank you all for your comments, this horrible weather is getting at most of us, and OH and me are off to Upton on Seven for the jazz festival in the morning - looks like all day pub jobs if the weather doesn`t improve.lol.

That looks great Stroller.....you have given that gate a whole new lease of life - much better than going to the tip!!
It's chucking it down here and is to do so for the next 5 days....I'm very sad :(
