We still have no snow, a dusting Monday (that melted two hours later) but we are due some tomorrow. We are right on the line again on the weather map, except the other side this time.

I have to add the lady who sold us the house (her grandfather built it), passed away just before Christmas and the rose was just in bud then. I know she loved this rose as it had the strongest perfume...<br />Hope you are doing well.<br />IvanA Normandy kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11793122018733990319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064283732773106138.post-37589567372210227582013-01-17T20:23:45.319+01:002013-01-17T20:23:45.319+01:00Hello Gillian,
