My Poor Roses Have Been Cooked DSC_3747

This is usually a beautiful soft pink but our recent spell of hot weather and strong, hot easterly winds has cooked many of the flowers.
Tomorrow we're off on our annual camping trip to Hamelin Bay with Tish, Ben and the girls. We'll away for a week and will only have phone and internet access when we go into Augusta or Margaret River soI'll have to catch up when I can. I'm looking forward to some cooler weather and a change of scenery.

Is someone looking after your garden?! My young magnolia is totally fried 😭
