morning ladies 
That south easterly is nippy!
The scone thing sounds very yum, OHH Another here who prefers butter.
It's the last push to tame the triffids. I've dug out my Loving Memory rose
as it was rotting at the crown. When I bought it second hand (yes, that's a thing lol) from a lady, she said she planted it in 1974 
That would make it 49 years old and I've had it for almost 10 of those years. I think I paid $10 for it 
I'm also going to replace the two sickly Graeme Thomas roses our friend with breast cancer had me dig out. I'll buy a new, healthier version in her memory for when she falls of her perch. All of the old lavenders have been dug out and are ready for mulching. I'm hoping I can convince MrK to dig out the chainsaw as there are a couple of small things that need the extra muscle of the saw. There are still dahlias flowering and the lavatera is going nuts. We could use some rain though, the ground is very dry. In a couple of weeks I'll be pruning back again but at least the worst of it will have been done.
We enjoyed some cranberry hot cross buns last evening. The cranberries added a nice tart taste to the buns. Couplands make the best hot cross buns
Fingers crossed I can work on my embroidery later today.
Washing machine has finished so time to hang out the washing. With this wind it won't take long to dry.
Happy crafting
