Friday, then? I've missed talking too. And you've been so amazingly busy, so it's with good reason, but.

As to the roses, yes. They got quite rare for a while in there, did you know? They were always Nana's favourites, and - well, I still have the owl where Mum wrote the last bush she had died. And they've got such an incredible scent.

(Actually, I think it's the scent that made me learn the roses properly in the first place. The route from my room to my favourite observing spot at home was best done through Mum's rose garden, and if I crushed something in the dark, I'd be in deep trouble in the morning.)
