A fairly quick blog; got lots to do before an early night. The garden is full of roses. The above is one of those miniature roses that used to be sold on garage forecourts. This one was given to us three or four years ago, and has really settled in well. It is now full of buds again, and has a lovely scent.
Maggie dear, the rose above is the first flower on that lovely 'Golden Celebration' rose you gave us back in February. It, too, is full of buds, and has a pleasantly subtle scent. Thank you, it's a beauty!
Above - a flower arrangement Ann has just done from the garden, with roses and bronze fennel.
I'd just started dinner when I realised it looked,smelt, and tasted so good that I must take a photie; so put me knife and fork down and did so. From the right :- pork chop in onion sauce, fried potatoes, and leeks in a cheese sauce. A very tasty light supper (followed by a small chocolate sponge pudding in chocolate sauce).
Got to go and clean me shoes and press me flannels ready for Z's blog party on the morrow, where we hope to meet many of our blogfriends. To all of whom I wish a very good night.

That's a pretty little bronze goat, Mike! Recent acquizish? Is it signed Barye or Fratin perhaps circa 1830ish?
Hello Crowbard. Had her for a good many years. She's not signed but is of the area you suggest, and, I would think, mid nineteenth century. Bought her in Lincolnshire and kept her because Ann said, quite correctly, that she was very like Jenny, our British Saanen senior goat of our small flock. Also bred Toggenberg goats, which were prettier, but the Saanen were the better milkers. Jenny, at her best, gave us up to eight pints a day!
P.s. I think that should be 'herd' rather than 'flock'?
Or in the case of Toggenbergs, SCENE not Herd.
Crowbard - you are poaching on Rog's preserves. He's the one who does the awful puns on blog.
