Hosta, Simon's programmes were all the better for being "off the beaten track" I remember seeing many such villages from the train going from St.Petersburg to Moscow twenty five years ago.
Fairy, it was very stormy here last night.....I went back to bed at 7.30 after a cuppa and had another couple of hours sleep.
Glad you got a few more zzzzzzs Joyce. It's supposed to clear up a bit later on, but I'm not holding my breath. I had to go and check that the rain wasn't coming in my open bedroom windows. The only problem with it's location - when the weather's coming slightly more from the south than the west! The wind's forecast to be pretty fierce on the hills today too, and pretty rubbish all weekend. I'm not having much luck in that department
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
No rain forecast here till Thursday and then only local showers so none. You're bound to get some clear dry spells sooner or later FG.
I have been a good girl and taken cuttings of 2 penstemons plus sown seeds of another and also cuttings of a salvia microphylla Violette and split one of the carex evergold pots. Now to sew.

It certainly hasn't been weather for the hills or anything else Fairy. There is a weather warning of high winds for this area on Monday and Tuesday.......think I'll go into hibernation
Obelixx, I know you want some rain but the Atlantic is bringing it all this way. Wish we could do a swap just for a week or two.
Hello folks I'm back Lovely visit to Wonky Her garden is still full of colour and the autumn colour in the countryside is building up in beautiful layers.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Hi everybody.

That will be more leaves for me to sweep then!
Of those storms look worrying.
