“Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses.”
― Alphonse Karr
Since there were so many stormy shots to be had over the past few days, I saved up my Valentines Rose to be photographed today. It’s beautiful! So beautiful that I had to go and get a vase just to house it in, and now it’s even more beautiful.
I’m very lucky, especially as William did the 64 mile drive to me at the weekend in the storms, with the Rose, eyes streaming because we both get terrible hay fever! I also got a gorgeous charm for my bracelet, but I shall save that to be photographed another day – and a lovely card.
William always picks out the best cards, with a butterfly on (even at Christmas!) and I’ve saved them all. The pile is small at the moment, but as the years progress hopefully they will increase… ;)
