Don't make Plans

You never know what's going to happen here, so plans get changed all of the time!  Like today!
We're trying to redecorate our bedroom but then the Delivery Van arrived ... 20 hedging roses.

The gardener maintains that, planted where the 'failed' Pyracanthas went, they will deter the deer from entering the garden to eat the flowering roses.  (Won't they just go around the ends of the hedge?)  However I didn't voice my reservations.

As they were delivered bare-rooted they had to have the roots soaked.  It's amazing what you can use a baby bath for!
We were side-tracked by things in the house but then went out to 'heel in' the roses as we will be socialising all weekend.  (It's a hard life being retired).

All just done in time for the evening glass of medicinal red wine .... but it now means that I will have to dig 20 holes in our stoney ground on Monday.  No Parole Board yet!
