The bees love them. My photography skills aren't good enough to get a decent picture of one but I had a go. You can just about see it.
This is what it was after inside the rose.

Blooming
I bought a really cheap budget rose from B&Q a few weeks ago in the hope that the dogs wouldn't go near it because of the thorns. I wasn't expecting much from it and the bugs have eaten a good proportion of the leaves. I certainly didn't expect it to grow so quickly and bloom so beautifully. Roses aren't something I like the smell of very much. All that messing about as a child making rosewater put me off the scent for life. These don't smell so bad though and I am definitely going in search of some companions for this bush. I might even try a climber suitable for a pot as we have no earth to plant anything in.

Design Team Call
Do you fancy having a play with some of the new release Primas when they come out? If you do then hop over to my shop blog where I have put out a design team call. Submissions are until 15th August so lots of time yet.
While I am talking about my shop, not something I do as a rule on here, I might as well promote the sale which ends on 31st July and the blog challenge which also ends on 31st July - you could win a Magnolia Ink magazine this month.

Mission Accomplished
The whole purpose of the building work we had done was so the boy could have his own space which he has so desperately needed.
He didn't want to go into the loft because of the noise when it is windy and rainy so we moved up there.
We have decorated our old room for him and he moved in there earlier this week. It isn't finished yet because a lot of his stuff is in boxes in his old room and the furniture needs replacing. Those brown drawers are the most hideous and noisy piece of furniture ever and will be replaced asap along with the 80s wardrobe.

Skywatch
A view from the loft window.
I'm loving the beautiful sunsets we can now see from being slightly higher than most of the other residents in the street.

Decorating is ongoing. The loft is finished (piccies another day) and our old bedroom is currently a mix of a dressing room/decorating store. I'm hoping that will be finished by the end of next week.
