It's not often that I get to take any time to smell the roses at this time of year, but this year I'm trying to be a bit easier on myself in the lead up to the busy season.

So a few days ago my partner and I went to a little country fair and then out to Angaston in the Barossa Valley to have coffee and a wander.

We actually did get to smell some roses as we walked in the Old Rose Repository garden in Angaston which is full of old and rare roses. So I thought I'd share a couple of photos with you.
