Gone are the days, when a rub on my chest with some Vick and hot drink of lemon juice and honey, with a new packet of tissues and I was fine. This cold has really taken the stuffing out of me. I'm really tired and ready for bed most nights at 9. Thank you for your good wishes and commiserations, I am beginning to feel better.
And yesterday in the sunshine, I felt so much better. I walked round the garden and felt all my hard work growing the seeds has been worth it, everything is growing well.
Our latest rose , called 'Tottering By Gently, '.. is in full bud and will shortly be looking like this photo.
Its very white again! He stands under Dh's tree, it has come with us through 3 gardens as small snips, called a Creeping Olive tree, leaves like an olive and in spring, it has very tiny yellow flowers, and the scent is amazing, we trim it every year to keep it small. I have one in a pot and I'm going to try to cut the tap root to see if I can keep it very small. I shall keep a record and see what happens.
How are your gardens looking?

So pleased you are feeling better.
That rose is such a lovely colour and I'm pleased to read yours is in bud.
Have a relaxing weekend.
All the best Jan
Your garden is repaying you handsomely. I haven't heard of creeping olive before. Keep on getting better!
I'm glad you're feeling better. That is a pretty rose. I think roses are my favourite flower, they are pretty to look at and some smell divine. I did a lot of work in my garden borders throughout April and kept on top of the watering so everything is looking good.
Glad you're feeling better and able to have a walk around your garden.
I'm glad you're feeling better.
I must admit that I still like vicks. They have tissues with them in here and I must admit that having them when I have a cold makes me feel better.
We (royal we again) have 3 or 4 ornamental olives along our fenceline. They've grown very big and cutting back each year doesn't seem to help. They're about 40 years old and we're thinking of getting them taken down. Your garden will be lovely when everything is in bloom.
I bought a new rosebush last summer, and one of the choices was "Tottering By Gently." I thought it an hilarious name for a rose. Glad yours is doing well.
Your mention of Vicks brings back lots of memories of childhood sore throats and colds. I hope you soon regain your energy.
Gladbro hear you are feeling better! My gardens are looking good so far, with so many perennials making a strong comeback. So are the weeds, though, especially that dreaded ground ivy.
