Roses once again!


Perth had an amazing weekend... the weather was perfect! That's one of the things I love about Perth! You appreciate fine weather all the more when you are stuck in an air conditioned office for the majority of theweek!

EH and I decided it was time to learn to prune from a professional and with the promise of fine weather, we decided to go to the Melville Nurseries on Saturday morning and learn a few tips from the expert!!! It was a lot better than I imagined... for those who know me, I'm not exactly one with nature.... I know very little about the garden but EH inspired me and also I was keen to be good at keeping my roses alive! But really it was fun! The guy was so funny, and basically the key is to THINK, prune down your roses to 50% and think about mother nature. No kidding!

Our friends A & G came along for a fine morning of rose viewing and photo taking... unfortunately there weren't that many roses, but nevertheless, they took these amazing photos. Doesn't the food look so delicious???

This was the Ciabatta that I had the last time... very yummy... loved the marinated and grilled red peppers...


Chicken pesto penne - apparently not good... not tasty enough... so yeah perhaps dont try this if you go to the rose farm!


Salmon bagel - apparently good!!!


Chicken caesar salad - yummy!!! See previous review.


Scones and tea and coffee... perfect way to spend the weekend... :)



We quickly took the shots before they pruned down these flowers!
We'll be BACK!!! :)
