A THORN BETWEEN TWO ROSES .....

My husband was cutting down some ferns and asked me to tell him how far to cut them ..... I went out into the garden with nothing on my feet but flip flops, no gardening gloves, nothing ..... I told him what he wanted to know then, I spotted the rose that goes over the arch so, ran in for some secateurs and a step ladder and started pruning ..........





Hands are now cut to ribbons !!!!! I always have to do everything straight away and can't be bothered to don the right equipment .....



I saved these three ..... the last of my Penny Lane rose for this year although, the St Swithin out in the front garden is blooming like mad ! 


Looooook !!!!!

 A thorn between my sister { right } and my cousin { left } .....


 This is us a few years previous ..... not in the same positions ..... my sister is the taller and older one { haha !!! } at the back, I'm on the left and my cousin on the right. 



 


Went to see The Good Liar ..... I enjoyed it even though it was a bit obvious and I'm not a Helen Mirren fan !!!!!

  4. Sorry you were 'attacked' by the lovely roses! Like you, I see something out of whack in the garden, grab the pruners and go to it without my gloves, naughty!
    We Brits and our gardens, no matter where located, can be a different species, haha!

    Haven't seen that movie yet. I usually am enamored with Helen M. and her acting, but disliked everything about her role (and most of the others), true to history or not, in the recently watched 'Catherine The Great' TV mini series.

    Lovely pix of you with your sisters - sadly I don't have one of those!
    Happy Autumn dear Jackie - enjoy the roses you did cut - and take good care of yourself.

  6. Oh, such beauties!! You and Mr P are similarly enthusiastic about Tasks - the Dettol and Bandaids are really only in the home to attend to such flesh wounds as you're sporting! XX

  7. We used to have a Rose that was named after the wife of a famous ancestor. My father would move it from house to house each time we moved. In about 1970 he was digging it up for a final move when he pricked the back of his hand, which then swelled to Football size; he left the Rose where it was!

    1. Hi Elizabeth ...... feeling fine. It’s my own fault ..... I’m too lazy to go in and get a bit of protection !!!! Some of our roses don’t have as many thorns but this one is viscous !!! XXXX

  12. Ouchies. Sometimes when I prune my roses they fight back and I tell them "ouch, don't bite me." Sweet photos of three charmers.

  13. Make a list of pertinent information that will assist you can refer to when filling out applications. You'll find yourself having to supply dates and other information you won't remember. It is good practice to write everything down and keep the information in one simple document. This will make it a whole lot easier to fill out applications.satta king
