It’s mid November, about the time of year when this blog begins to go quiet, as the winter weather puts the garden to sleep.

Before the first frost, I got some snaps of the remaining flowers on a misty morning. We had cosmos, Fatsia japonica, rose ‘Vanessa Bell’, a couple of fuchsia and a few pelargoniums bravely continuing to bloom.

The leaves are wonderful colours around the neighbourhood, and lovely husband is collecting leaf mulch to redistribute around the borders, keeping the roots of the perennials tucked up and warm for the winter.

Sunsets and sunrises are spectacular at this time of year, but they are far too close together for my liking.

So I hope you have a lovely week, and a lovely winter, and I’l be back on this blog on the other side of the winter solstice, as the garden begins to wake up.
