Changing seasons


We’re rapidly turning into the season of frosts & dark mornings. Soon it will be time for the clocks to change. Already we’ve been aware that it’s been getting dark by 6pm. Now the mornings, too, remain dark until 7.30am.

The garden too is turning into its more wintry garb. The rudbeckia is dying down though the penstimon & rosemary are having a second flowering. The trees have leaves of all shades of yellows, oranges & browns. Soon they will drop. Indeed many already have. The acer is turning a glorious shade of red.

Some plants are just starting to come out. The winter heathers are gaining colour. Soon there will be mats of purple to last throughout the cold weather.

There is much beauty at this time of year, especially on a crystal clear frosty morning like today. The clarity of light gives everything a special sparkle.
