WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE IN THE GARDEN TO-DAYOn this morning’s walk around my garden I lingered a little longer to embrace the beauty of all I saw and to breath in the perfume of the roses.

About Me
- Reflection Through The Seasons
- I live in a small Welsh village which is situated in the southern tip of the Snowdonia National Park. Its an area of true outstanding natural beauty. We have the Cambrian mountains to the east of us and the coast of Cardigan Bay out to the west. My husband and I moved to Wales from The Cotswolds in England 19 years ago. We bought the old village Police Station, which we have worked tirelessly renovating ever since. You could say its a real labour of love. I have retired after working many years in the travel business, this now leaves me free to pursue the many things in life that I enjoy.

Oh Marion your roses are so very beautiful! English roses I suppose? Isn't it just wonderful to have a garden with roeses blooming in? I so enjoy the roses at the moment!
We are still clouded over here but can see from your lovely photos that you have had brighter skies. Your garden looks like a little bit of Heaven- love the old roller too.
Go pretty rose, go to my fair,
Go tell her all I fain would dare,
Tell her of hope; tell her of spring,
Tell her of all I fain would sing,
Oh! were I like thee, so fair a thing.
--MICHAEL BEVERLY
Marion - how could you tear yourself away from the garden to come inside and post those wonderful photos. You must be enjoying your garden so much at the moment. I know I certainly am.
Marion, you have the loveliest flowers!! Finally some that I know..roses!! So Pretty!! wow!! I love coming to see what new flowers you will have that I have never seen before here in Georgia USA...How are you doing? fine I hope. Have a great day!!
Such lovely roses and I can just imagine the air filled with their perfume!! My middle name is Rose, taken after my grandma whose first name was Rose...I guess that's why I'm partial to roses:-)
Beautiful roses,is it any wander its the symbol of England?I hope my new roses bloom as nice as yours.
Marion,
Your garden is lovely and charming. I can imagine the wonderful scent of your roses. My sweet youngest granddaughter is Rose. Her 4th birthday is next week.
She looked just like a perfect rosebud when she was born and was such a gift to me! (I had lost my Mom just the month before her birth)...
Thanks for these lovely photos :-)
Marion, wonderful roses. You can be proud on your garden!

Your roses are just beautiful Marion. I can almost smell them from here! Love foxglove, don't you? Such a pretty shape.
Ross and I were discussing your roller and wondering if John uses it. It looks heavy! Makes a lovely garden ornament :)
