Boiling hot on the suntrap terrace this afternoon and the stone wallers are wearing sun creme but still have pink shoulders. I start planting roses ( thanks to the bloggers who have suggested appropriate named varieties ) today The Pilgrim and Rosa Mundi- what else when you have guests to a pilgrimage destination from all over the world. The mechanical digger leaves and the bathroom equipment is delivered bang on time. Bang being the operative word as one of the baths is found to be fractured on arrival, but they say there will be a replacement here on Thursday, which is quite impressive.
