Leicestershire, United Kingdom

Not a question but....
Knowing that a lot of members like roses I thought it worth letting those in the West Midlands know that David Austin's rose garden is looking pretty good for mid-October.

I was in that 'neck of the woods' this lunchtime with an hour or so to spare and went along (must be 25 years since I was there - just as they were beginning to become a BIG name). Given today's cold and rain an hour was just about enough before ducking into the coffee shop to warm up.
