June flowers in our garden
It’s a wonderful time of year when so many plants start to flower . . .
From autumn to winter
The wind is howling outside as I write, tearing down the valley towards the sea and throwing rain against the sides of the house. It’s been a relatively mild autumn, no real storms so far, but the past couple of days have hinted at a definite change in season. On a drive down the Sterridge Valley this afternoon, the trees looked magnificent, still with many leaves. No doubt, the wind will soon blow these away.
In the garden, some plants are still flowering from summer and autumn.

We don’t seem to have had a summer this year, but there’s still much to enjoy throughout the other seasons.
