Finally - what you have all been waiting for! After my good intentions to update not coming to fruition a wee bit of nagging from Maurie has got me at the keyboard.
I'm sure time speeds up at this time of year - as usual I am not on schedule for Christmas ( or anything much else for that matter!) but I am sure it will all drop into place.
The title of this post refers to the most spectacular climbing rose of the same name. This was given to me a few years ago - where it was originally growing it was continually eaten by possums - and since I already had a Lucy I was lucky enough to get a rose to match.
I wish I could say this is a tribute to my tender loving care - but this wonderful rose seems to thrive on neglect and erratic pruning ( it does look a bit like Sideshow Bob with the random branches sticking out where I can't reach them!)
And continuing the theme of Blushing Lucy - this amazing child has not only topped her class this year, she has been named Junior Dux ( or equivalent - she couldn't remember the title!). I have to admit - with all due modesty - that she takes after her mother here!! I feel as though my heart could burst with love and pride. Her nana would have been so proud as well.
Kia manawanui Lucy.

Thanks for posting the pic. This rose has been looking fantastic. I was going to photograph Blushing Lucy with our Lucy standing beside it, but now it has rained, maybe it's too late. Luce came over last night to show us her starling box, & then just as an aside, told us of her latest award. What a girl! Looking forward to the prize giving this morning.
