Hello July




Although just a little late.
Hope yours is off to a great start and that life is treating you well
I was happy to bring home this bunch of pink roses, my favourite colour. It is one little luxury that every now and again, it is good to spoil oneself. Love how it  just seems to brighten up the house on a winters day. 

            
I long, as does every human being to be at home wherever I find myself
~Maya Angelou

"Home is where the heart is", as the old saying goes and that is so true and even more so in winter. It just seems like the best place to be, where it is cozy and warm.

My wish is that you are all well and have a wonderful July

hugs
Carolyn

  19. Those roses are gorgeous! Do they grow them in New Zealand at this time of year or are they imported? Sarah x

    1. Hello Sarah,

      I am not sure where the roses came from but probably they would be imported I would think.
