Despite the frost last night and warnings of snow the garden was cool but not frozen as the sun rose over the horizon this morning. The air was fresh with a hint of wood-smoke,& the early morning light revealed a treasury of vibrant colour amongst the yellowing autumnal leaves. The magestic black rose 'The Prince' stands resplendant under a crabapple tree laden with ruby fruit. The silhouette against the azur sky is breathtaking!
