WELL...

... the wind has dropped a bit, so it may be a day for tidying up the damage in the garden.
Talking of which, I think Charles has been a bit over enthusiastic in his 'tidying up' as the other day it occurred to me that my roses weren't flowering yet, unlike everyone else's. On closer inspection though, it turned out that where my rose bushes should have been, there was now nothing more that a few very short, prickly twigs. Charles must have taken pruning to an extreme and has pretty much decimated the poor things - which in all honesty I'm quite cross about because they're clearly not going to recover this year, or maybe ever again.
And the lesson today is... Don't let Charles loose with the secateurs in future!
