Derelict Buildings



This old house has been abandoned for a while and it looks like Mother Nature is on the move and reclaiming her piece of land. 


I'm not sure what this old building was next door, probably a shed.  It's disappearing into the long grass too.  I wonder how many buildings get abandoned and grown over when they still have some good years left if they are looked after.  It seems like such a waste.

The Rose

My first rose is out in bloom.  This one is called Azure Sea and my daughter bought it for me a few months ago.



Much to my delight as well as looking beautiful it has a lovely delicate fragrance.  I think it was a sad day when they started breeding roses for looks and vase life and the fragrance was forgotten.  Who doesn't take a sniff when they go past a pretty rose.  



Luckily the old scented varieties are still around and some of the newer ones are smelling like roses should too.
