Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

White Flowers.

It's been another fine day. This afternoon was 'shuffle up afternoon' with all the children moving up to their new classes for the afternoon. This included the Year 2s going over to the Junior school, across the playing field. Everything went well and we repeat the whole process next week. It's a good way for the children to meet their new teachers before the actual change in September.
Back home there was another barbecue waiting when I got home though I did do my sit ups first.
Today's floral offerings seem to have taken a bit of a white theme.

This is one of several English Bush roses that all have a wonderful scent.

Arum lilies seed themselves around the damp areas of the garden but they are often badly damaged by the disgusting slugs.


Down by the pond the white water iris have started to flower.



The individual flowers don't last very long but the clump has grown well since I planted it about 5 years ago and there are lots of buds waiting to open.

The lilies are my favorite of your photos. They look like trumpets. Just beautiful.

Seeing your flowers makes me even more determined to start to get more colour in our garden. Vegetables first so that will be Spring 2010 before we get on with roses. Thanks for sharing what's in your garden - its an inspiration that's for sure.
