    Exquisite.
    A Suffolk tithe barn, what a privilege to own, restore, furnish and inhabit.
    And such a lovely couple.

    (What Christmas decorations...)
    Philip pans past a corner cabinet and a very old looking grandfather clock. Then it's a sensory overload of paintings, ancient beams, acorns capping every newel post.
    Everywhere objects of interest.

    I've never stopped a video so many times wanting to zoom in at antiques.
    OMG their paintings.

              Lovely roses. I've given up on hybrid roses. My family in Oregon can grow them spectacularly, but my luck with them in New England has been kinda heartbreaking.

              My bloomscroll today is the native blue flag iris.

                Lovely roses. I've given up on hybrid roses.

                I'm trying own-root roses from this outfit:

                Costco had them online last year and I bought three of them. Everybody made it through the winter, though there was a fair amount of dieback. I had planted one is what turned out to be too much of a shady area, so I moved it this year and it's rebounding nicely.

                OTOH, I'm now remembering why I stopped growing roses years ago...they seem to be susceptible to every imaginable disease and insect that's out there....

                    Iris are so beautiful, ours aren't flowering yet, while in old Londinium they're all but finished.
                    Except these two from my early dog walk around Woodford
