I have put in a new archway. Here are a couple of photos:

I’ve bought a gloriana climbing rose to climb over the arch and will hopefully be able to plant it this weekend (weather permitting)!

I have been meaning to take some photos of the cosmos for a while as they are the only things that have done really well this year in my garden. I finally got round to taking some photo’s, but the cosmos are not looking as good as they did! There are still lots of buds waiting to open so hopefully I will still gets weeks of cosmos. :-)

Finally, my thoughts go out to everyone who is affected by these awful floods.

Oh it's lovely. I like things in light colours :o)
Your Cosmos are beautiful. I like their feathery leaves too ...

Thank-you Steragram, Diane and Hywel. I agree Hywel, we had a black arch in before but it didn't really do much, but this one seems to make the garden 'lighter'.

It looks smashing as do your flowers.
We are so lucky where we live, my heart goes out to all the people affected, there seems no end to it this year....

Thank-you, BJS. Yes it came in 4 parts and needed to be assembled. It was more fiddly than hard, but I got my nephew to do it, while I supervised! lol
