Madame Alfred Carriere rose is a fabulous, old Climbing rose with almost thornless pliable stems and abundant, light green foliage. It's very fragrant, fully double, blush-tinted creamy-white blooms around 10cm across, are almost continuously blooming in summer and autumn in large numbers. It is a classic rose, one that is wonderfully fragrant, repeat flowers, vigorous pliant growth which is easily trained with a rambling habit. It loves full sun, and will also grow well on a north wall or a semi-shaded position.

Good morning everyone and happy Monday!

Gma, how wonderful you managed to find your long list school friend . And your church service sounded lovely!

Today is supposed to be very hot - up into the 30s C. So, my plan is to go out I to my garden first thing, and walk this evening. I'll start my housework at the front of the house which faces NW, and wait until the sun has gone round to clean the bedroom, which faces SW. At least, that's the theory! I think DH has A/C at the office, so he should be ok. The cats will fnd a cool spot to hang out in. So my little family is all taken care of

I spent most of the morning in my garden, just coming in when it started to get too hot. Freddie is currently on my lap (he hasn't done that for ages!), but I have tidied the kitchen and sorted the rubbish out. As soon as I'm released by my feline overlord, I'll make a start upstairs.

Hi! Nobody has started a post over in PWYC, so I thought I would pop in here to say hello.

I've been putting little odds and ends away. Sometimes things become part of the landscape. I've been trying to keep the kitchen island clear. It attracts all sorts of things.

As soon as I started to type this, my dh stumbled past and I asked if he was up for the day. Time to make him a coffee and reheat my tea.

Hi, Cathy, how nice to "see" you on this thread. Ikwym about things becoming "part of the landscape" You've inspired me to re-home/ throw out 5 things sitting on the kitchen worktop that shouldn't be there , before I tackle the bedrooms.
