For the eyes of rose-lovers

Do you happen to live within striking distance of  Regents Park, London?  Please, please if you have half a chance, get yourself down to the Rose Gardens as fast as your little legs can carry you.  You're sure to  be in for an exquisite treat of splendid displays of colour and variety.  The largest collection of roses in London – free and gratis!   Roses are blooming earlier this year…. Gordon and I were privileged to be in the Queen Mary Gardens on Tuesday 31st May;  if possible, try to get to the fleeting beauty sooner rather than later.

Gordon's arm/hand is still in the kingsize sling.

Please feel free to double-click to view enlarged images.

We hope these bring your pleasure and jubilant hearts and that the beauty of roses will be to you  a faint echo of Jesus’ own incomparable beauty!

"I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys."—Song of Solomon 2:1.

Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son,
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honour,
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy and crown.

Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me, All his wonderful passion and purity.
O, thou Spirit divine all my nature refine, till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me

With a jubilant hearts,  Gordon and Estelle
