No Money, No Brawn - Just A Will.

I was asked yesterday to remove this white rose that grows behind the bench. By remove I mean cut off at ground level, one person actually suggesting I dig it up altogether. I wasn't happy about it and even less happy that no other solution was considered first. It's fair to say that the wall behind the rose needs repairing desperately but something could be done to appease both the builders and gardener. Anyway I have taken it upon myself to take the rose away from the wall and tie it back out of the way until the work has been done when it can once again be tied back on to the wall. This has met with the builders approval so everything should be good.


The moral of this story is that if you have brains and will, you don't need either money or brawn.

So glad you saved that rose, it looks wonderful against that wall. Is that a large planter above the pond?

It would have been a crying shame to have uprooted it.

So pretty!

It would have been a crying shame and I would have thought even more so in view of the up coming weddings. The planter is a strange thing which I will try and take a closer look at some time.
