It may have travelled around the country, winter may be coming ... and Mum remembered it from before the war ... yet it still looks, and smells, stunning.  So glad I collected it before we sold their house ... and certainly happy it survived it's 7th move of location.

For those of you who wonder about the icon, it's actually a photo of Mum that Dad took ... it was a couple of years after they married, so she would have been about 26 ... I have always loved the photo, so it's nice to be able to use the image

Work was hectic today - no real reason, and in fact I wasn't home late in the emd, so all in all I was kept out of mischief, so that was the main thing.
Yesterday I had a day off, and enjoyed a stroll into Exeter (despite rubbing a big blister!).  I have never actually had a day off that I had actually just spent pottering away from home.  It was fun (despite the sore foot).  The ankle is doing well, both for the walk, as well as a busy clinic.  It is strapped until tomorrow, so will have to see how that goes once the ankle is "naked" again!
Now I have ironing to do.  It's a job I actually like doing, as it is one of those things that you can see a positive result from immediately.  But, before I head downstaires -

The rose seems to have survived nicely. And the icon is stunning. What a wonderful memory to have.

A stunning rose - they really are quite robust and if you feed them regularly they pretty much survive everything in my experience.

Glad to hear the ankle is feeling better.

It is lovely that the rose bush is so hardy. It must get good care.

That is a lovely rose. It must make you smile and feel close to her when it blooms. My mom loved roses. When I was very little our front porch had lattice on each side with a rose called Seven Sisters growing up it. They were very pretty, but always had so many bees. My mom grew lots of roses around the sides of our house. I gave her Sterling Roses for her birthday and Mother's day. My mom had a green thumb for out door plants. Me not so much.

Such a lovely photo of your mom! (I'll have to come back after I'm logged off the VPN to see the rose.)
