What a wonderful collection of roses, the floribunda pinks, my goodness. We've had so much heavy rain these last weeks ours have all been beaten to the ground... so sad... their poor heads get so heavy... they are all face down in the mud splashes.
My favourite of those is the overblown rose... that is heavenly, I can almost smell it...
The petals have that wonderfully velvet fragility of the gone over... and the wilted ones give a lovely contrast..

I see you found the bright pink Lambs Lugs.. a perfect contrast to the grey kerbstone.

Calligraphy I enjoyed.. I like being able to play with all those different nibs. And being careful to hold it always in the right way so's you could do thick and thin lineswith the same nib. Fun twas... You've done well. and I love the name Ysandre de coursel. and Josselin is a very medieval town not all that far from here!!!!

Thanks so much for these ones Silverflight, how v ery kind and thoughtful of you. I am feeling less beaten down... and have achieved quite a lot... despite creaking around a bit. Am sitting in a comfy chair with a shawl over my legs, Light cream mohair...gorgeous. and then I shall take my tablets and go to my lovely flat comfy bed. Then get up and start more springcleaning!! done the upstairs I am pleased to say... walls washed and all. phew.
