Beautiful roses. They are out! Not just the creeping kinds and smaller roses, but many different ones are in bloom. Many varieties will continue to bloom through summer and early autumn. She is not native to The UK but hails from China. In the fifteenth century she started appearing in the gardens of monasteries, and during Tudor times she was a symbol indeed of prestige. The pollinators love her – bees, butterflies and even beetles. Yes beetles do pollinate although they can be a little destructive. Her scent, when it has not been bred away to prioritize look, is truly heavenly. She is the obvious symbol of Love Love Love, and has become the quintessential British flower.

Love, Love Love and lots of laughter last night in Chawton, as we welcomed Debbie and Bill Reeves last night, although it was Debbie who took the platform to give authentic thoughts and bring our delightful messages. Debbie and Bill are new to us and we were so glad to welcome them. We really had a lovely time !!! Thank you! Our effervescent Sarah chaired the proceedings beautifully. Lots of fun!

Thank you to our readers, our hospitality – Carole and Sue. Our music – Julie, Our healers always on hand, and all the set up and break down.

Prayer of the week

There are many taking exams right now. It can be a harrowing time for many. Please send prayers of calm to them.

The weather may have broken but there is still sunshine out there. Catch the rays while you can, and have a beautiful week!
