You all know the ice cream company? Very expensive ice cream, which I recently discovered in small tubs at my local supermarket. I'd heard about Salted Caramel ice cream, with some bloggers raving about it, so when I saw the Haagen-Dazs tubs on sale for only $5 I bought some. I loved it! Fabulous stuff. Just the right amount of salted caramel streams to counteract the sweet ice cream. I would have rated it five stars. But just lately, I have been disappointed with the product containing far too much of the salted caramel and my rating now would be only one star. I went to the website and clicked on "contact us" to let them know I was no longer happy.

ReplyDeleteJayne; you're absolutely right. They're all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBaino; did they come with a little sachet of stuff to put in the water? It helps them last longer. Otherwise dissolve a little sugar in hot water and add it to the vase water, that helps too. Change water daily and trim a teensy bit off each stem at the same time.
Red Nomad OZ; The dry winter has set everything flowering amazingly well.
Kath; I could take a walk past your old house and see how your roses are doing. And at the same time get a good look at everyone elses.
P.S. Kath; Start a trend, plant a rose.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent pictures.
