Our Cottage...!

This is the front of our cottage...the tiny pink roses are very common here around old buildings...

[redted]

Awww,that really is pretty,a typical cottage,the roses are beautiful, it looks larger than you have described in some of your posts.

[Hidden in reply to redted]

It is small honestly...the rooms are tiny...lol

[Puffthemagicdragon]

Probably the dog rose. It's usually used to graft hybrids from. So a lot of the " posher " roses you see all owe it to the dog rose.

As far as I remember anyway !

A few years ago since I went to college

[Hidden in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

Not the wild Dog rose...this is a cultivar...probably a Dorothy Perkins.

Thank you very much.

[beeperoni]

Omg, I love it...so cozy looking. Are you in Ireland? My grandparents were from Ireland and that looks very similar to what the outside of their cottage looked like.

[Hidden in reply to beeperoni]

Yes...we live in the North-West of Ireland...it's a pretty enough place to be

[grannyjan]

That is gorgeous, just like you described I knew your village would look something like that. Keep up the blogs.

Sweet enough for a chocolate box! wonder if the rose is a Dorothy Perkins, came out in 1901 double rose pink with no fragrance. Very pretty rambler.

[Hidden in reply to Lyd12]

I do think you're right about the rose Lyd...it grows in huge profusion most years...I'll start referring to it as a Dorothy Perkins.

[Lyd12 in reply to Hidden]

If you google Dorothy Perkins rose there are some lovely images and under the Jackson and Perkins wikipedia it tells about the hybridizer who named the rose after his grand-daughter. iris x

[Hidden in reply to 2malinka]

Just the right choices made at the right time...and a deal of hard work!

[lynisa48]

[Hidden in reply to lynisa48]

You can come for tea...just give me a months notice to get rid of the dust bunnies...lol

[Nikkers]

I keep your pic's Vashti, so now I can almost see how your lovely home looks from the back and the front. Beautiful, just beautiful, I'm very jealous.

Incidentally, your front garden is about the same size as my back garden is now!

I too have a Mazda...great cars aren't they? lol.

[Hidden in reply to Nikkers]

That car just keeps going...whoops...shouldn't have said that I suppose...lol

[Nikkers in reply to Nikkers]

Mine's a 1998 model - still more reliable than some of the modern rubbish. I love it.

[sassy59]

What a pretty cottage Vashti. It looks very homely and cosy. Thanks for sharing. xxxx

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

Nah...still a bit draughty!

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

Oh well, looks can be deceptive sometimes I suppose. xxxx

[ERINDOORS]

Ah, England our England .

[Hidden in reply to ERINDOORS]

Actually it's the West of Ireland...lol

[Hidden]

Oh how lovely.

How much would you charge for a week rental

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

We have a little shed? It's a very nice little shed...lol

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

i love sheds x

[freefaller]

So pretty. Where do you live Vashti?

[Hidden in reply to freefaller]

We live in North-West Ireland...about 30 miles from the Atlantic ocean...

[freefaller in reply to Hidden]

WOW! It is lovely. We live in West Wales in an old barn which was converted back in the 80's Will post a photo one day. Haven't got many apart form when we have all our plant pots and baskets out and not doing that this year as just don't feel well enough. We are about a mile from the Irish Sea here and used to walk to the sea regularly but we have to walk either down (and then back up) a steep hill or steep steps so haven't done that for a while.

[Dedalus]

How charming and beautiful xx

[Puffthemagicdragon]

Ah. A bit too far away for me to make out. Thanks for the info.

[Azure_Sky]

If I ever get to Ireland I will bring some hogweed for the bunnies lol
