The Cartford Inn roses

Cathy & I took Connie for a walk across the fields past the Cartford Inn where we saw this lovely rose climbing up the side of the hotel.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a prettier or healthier climbing rose in a more prominent place.

Three good things:
1. All hands on deck in the garden (except mine!), mowing, strimming & weeding, it looks so much better!
2. BBQ inside!!
3. Ice cream Vienetta, haven’t had one for years!

My mum’s cousin who was commenting on my photo today is a frequenter of the Cartford Inn (& the rest of the family) - all BAe employees- I’m sure you’ll have a connection some how!

@judithg Very likely Judith…..they might even know my SIL!

[Judith Greenwood]

@happypat is she BAe? They are Aston, Woods and Beaumont! Graham retired now but he was something important in the hangars - the girls are in the business side.

@happypat my dad long retired!

[Judith Johnson]

Fabulous roses Pat, definitely worth sharing! Well done on the gardening front

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg Yes but he’s at Salmesbury Judith. I’m guessing you’re are at Wharton? The one you met in Cambridge, Cathy’s husband.
