Future's Looking Blooming

Yesterday, once the frost had gone, we decided to plant up the Arbour. We got on very well as I'd already dug the holes, and, happily I didn't have to do much work at making them any bigger. By the evening we only had 3 more roses to plant. So, when we woke up this morning and no frost, we rushed out to finish the job.





We planted the roses and I was able to tidy up by removing surplus piles of earth and spreading out the manure. Pleased to report that the Head Gardener is pleased!




However, as usual, more manure is required.

This afternoon we were off with our friends Sue and Jon to a Carol Concert in english and french at a church in Cahors. Despite our attempts at singing the carols with french lyrics, we enjoyed the service, and the glass of mulled wine afterwards.
