Flower Friday...Rose

Hurrah, the sun is back, it has been the most beautiful day, and the first rose has flowered in my garden. It's Hot Chocolate, and there are a lot, lot more flowers to come. I had a slow morning at home, pottering, and went to the Bfriend group at 2pm. Busy and noisy, but fun. Home just after 4.45 and the parasol base had been delivered.  Tomorrow, I shall attempt to assemble the parasol!!
