Life is a rose and it’s way too sweet… @ Hyde Park
At the first ray of sunshine, people tend to rush to the lawns and beer gardens (often looks like a giant barbecue to me after a few hours). I love to stroll through a green oasis instead. Why not enjoy the rose garden in Hyde Park, planted in 1994. Isn’t it magical to caress the petals, compare the textures, smile at a bee’s drunken ballet?
End of June is the best time too – the roses are in full bloom. Splendid notes of orange, pepper, vanilla are in the air. Some are double, shy, bright purple, freckled, others blousy and seem to be opening very slowly like The Little Prince’s one.
The gardens are narrow but go on for ever. Narrow paths serpent through them, a few benches, lovely statues, an arched tunnel coverel with white blooms…
The best place to read this summer’s romantic novel!

A great escape to the countryside is to drive down to Mottisfont Abbey – what a fab collection of roses they have there! (a few pics here)

Sors au metro Green Park et prend l’entree de Hyde Park au coin. Tu verras, c’est a 5mn de marche, sur la gauche, tu l’apercevras tres vite. Enjoy!
oh oui! Lire un bon bouquin au milieu d’effluves envoutantes! Génial!
