Theres home, looking quite tidy for a change..It's time now and i'm sure we've all started to put the garden away for the winter, i started last week by putting the parasols away and the plastic garden furniture that tends to blow away.Non hardy stuff is in the polytunnel and and the rose as been cut back so we can get through the gate again,anymore cutting back will get done this week..I've repainted the iron furniture and want to paint the woodwork on the house before i set to on the stone sheds at the front of the picture..
We went down to Knighton yesterday to see what it was like, i'd forgotten i'd been there before with S's, we started our walk along the offa's dyke there 10yrs ago and still haven't finished it!! It's also very close to the spooky campsite we stayed at no we didnt stay!! we paid but then got bad feelings and ran off !! so i wasnt impressed, first impressions and all that..
We where going to stay away over night but S's had split with her first love and was in pieces she needed her mum!! we've all been there!! and watching her and listening theres nothing you can say, nothing will help, just time but try explaining that............xxxx
The picture at the top is of the window in the porch which colon made ages ago ,.............................
It's sad putting gardens to bed, isnt it. I have been cutting back straggly roses, putting away chairs, getting out the bird table for the winter feeding, and stii have lots of colour in the flower beds, which makes me think it isnt quite winter yet.
ReplyDeleteI too have started the going to bed process, but I am afraid I am a bit slow this year, sorry about the young love, we too have just been through it with our youngest, it really is one pain that you cannot rub for them. Will her well from Blossom.
ReplyDeleteHave collected all my geraniums from errant son's garden ...now have to do mine ...frosts on the cards with these clear night skies..the conservatory is bulging already. What were you up to in knighton? The observatory thingy is quite spooky.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite a melancholy feeling, putting the garden to bed. i'm a bit late this year I think.
ReplyDeleteI to am a bit late this year!
ReplyDeleteMust be the weather!
Very clear and starry night tonight, lovely horned moon too. Stuff outside the greenhouse will have to chance it.
ReplyDeleteHaven't properly started to put the garden to bed. too busy daffodil planting last weekend so will have a go this one. So sorry about S being so sad. It is hard and, as you say, nothing you can do but love them. I'm keeping an eye out for Christmas markets!
ReplyDeleteOh I do hope S's heart is mended quickly! House looks lovely Bodran....so does the scooter on Snailbeach's blog!and the garden now all tidied for the winter, must get on and do mine.
