I think the ending leaves things open for the next series. All dahlias ( about 100 ) now lifted and in the tunnel. Bulbs still to be planted , but a bit of lunch first.
You've been busy... there are more leaves to shift here, but I think it's due to get windy by the end of the week so I'll see if any of them blow away by themselves before I get out with the rake. Lazy, moi? Anyway, no dahlias here to lift...
Went singing in York yesterday. It was lovely to concentrate on something positive! And some of the beech trees we passed on the journey were just sublime
That wildlife camera has given me an idea for a Chr......s present for my son, Fairy!
OH has invited the oldies' music appreciation group to our house tomorrow morning. I think I'll shut myself in the bedroom - 2 floors up - and hope they can't hear me practising the tenor horn...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Evening. Hope you all ok. Who needs to brave the cold and crowds when people with more money than sense are letting off fireworks in the street below me? Ideal.
Have come home straight from patchwork cos the latest bites are just too itchy to take to mosaic and try and sit and concentrate for 2 hours. They loved the Parkin. I learned a new folded patch technique which is faffy - all by hand - but could be useful for keeping my hands busy when the TV is on.
Don't ask why as it's unfathomable to me but OH is watching an old England All Blacks match from years ago. 1997. Why is that on TV?
Liri, I too would wait till all the leaves are down and some have moved on but OH does it in phases as they fall. Fine by me as I get leaf mould later.
In Belgium, we lived near a beech wood which was full of wild wood anemones, narcissus and proper bluebells in turn as spring evolved each year and the main road thru it was lined with copper beeches. Fabulous light through the foliage in spring and autumn and an increasingly dense canopy over the road in summer. I dread to go back now as the branches were meeting in the middle and it's managed for its wood so regular felling and those copper beeches must be due for felling any day now.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
Liri - I used to find most of the leaves, on my trees in the house round the corner, got blown along the road. It was a double edged sword though, as I loved having the leaf mould. Glad your singing helped you too. There's a lovely beech hedge not far from me, and I pass it every day. It's looked wonderful in the last few weeks.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
My Beech trees are looking wonderful. 4 trees all fairly close to each other, and all in different stages of decay. I thought the end of Killing Eve was very poor as well
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Now watching the Last of the Tommies, some of which is heart-breaking.
