October is the best month for roses and this is the best view of our place so I thought I would combine the two to give you a glimpse of how gorgeous they both look at the moment.
In the foreground is the apricot bed, then the pink bed. Behind are the grape vines, some olive trees, the photinia hedge and, finally, the house. On the balcony (in the top photo), is one little Bichon and in the bottom photo, two little Bichons. I don’t know where the other one was.
Sometimes, dreams do come true.
So stunning.😊😊
Thanks, Jo. Don’t forget there is an open invitation. We would love to see you both in Bridgetown.
Glenda how beautiful your garden and home looks and of course you and Maus are gifted homemakers… I’m booking my ticket now 🙂
There will be a bed ready for you Moya.
Well now that was well worth showing off. How spectacular! It must be so relaxing to sit out on the deck and admire it all. You’re going to have to do another post of the bishops because I just can’t find them…is this sort of a “Find Waldo” thing?
just gorgeous Glenda! really pretty.
Thanks Lara.
Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful Glenda. I would have vases full of roses all around the house.
Have a happy day.
🙂 Mandy xo
Hi Mandy, Its funny but I don’t usually cut the flowers. I am not a fan of cut flowers
Wow! I knew you loved roses, but this is spectacular. What a pleasure to the senses it must be to walk amongst your roses – even better with that glass of wine.
Debi, a glass of wine makes everything better 🙂
Magical. My boys would love to run around in such a beautiful display of flowers x
Hi Kris, it is much prettier now than when you were here.
Hi Girls and Jules
What a stunning photo of the garden and the house you just gotta to love Spring.
Nah, spring brings too much work. I love winter!!
Amazing Glen, I’m with Sandra that glass of wine in the evening on the balcony is my idea of luxury.
Hi Sis, but who is going to do all the work?
I’d show off too. Why did you plant the roses so far from the house?
Hi Anne, We had water down there and the soil is so much better than it is up near the house.
Makes perfect sense now.
Thank you for sharing your dream. It’s beautiful. Only yesterday I commented to another blogger “The blogging world has helped me so much because of the insights it provides into other people’s lives, the journeys they made to where they are now, the satisfaction and enjoyment they derive from continuing simply with that journey.”
Ella, You are on a journey of your own. Enjoy it.
OMG! Show off as much as you like, it’s beautiful.
Hi Maree, I couldn’t help myself. 🙂
Glen, what a pleasure to see all those flowers each day, maybe I could try a few roses out the front garden. I am glad you have your dream.

Thanks, Sis.
How beautiful it must be to sit on that balcony with a glass of wine in hand, the scent of roses wafting on the breeze
Hi Sandra, Who has the time to sit on a balcony? Anyway there would be no smell of roses. They are about 100 metres away.
Gorgeous!
Thanks Liz.
