Roses grow on you - or scratch you

'I'm running an ad campaign on Amazon,' I told Husband. 'But I'm restricting how much I spend on it.'
'How much are you spending?'
'Ten pounds.'
Husband laughed. 'It'll take you ten years to earn that.'

You see dear readers, this is what I have to put up with. 

Having set up the campaign remarkably quickly I went out into the fresh air to do some gardening, the sort of gardening I am good at: the destructive sort.

Husband does the planting and nurturing and I, well, I destroy. The roses put up a fight though and I wasn't even pruning them. I had to fight my way through them in order to cut down the perennials but the roses took it personally. 

I love roses. Here's a little reminder of the wonderful summer we had.

You are the Goddess Kali, who destroys so that creation may endure and rise again!

I like the idea of being a goddess!

What's the second rose called? Beautifully decadent!

Beautiful roses. I adore roses, they are in my top 5 favourites.

Seriously, Sonata? You expect me to know the name of a rose?! Thinking about it it may be 'black' rose.

Mine too, Polly.

The moment I scrolled down to the top rose photo, I got a whiff of attar of roses. Gorgeous blossoms, Liz.
