Ps. Sorry! I meant to thank everyone for their lovely wishes for our anniversary yesterday. It was a good day for us. We are very lucky that we have lots of space to move around in safety with our 100 acres of native bush land and no one wandering around back there. 😁
Our neighbours on each side keep to themselves and the woman on the north side rings us now and then for a chat to ask if we are ok.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ Sounds ideal if you ask me @Pat E 😊 we like to check the webcams at St Ives every now and then … I thought this morning’s scene of the moon over a stormy Porthmeor beach is worth sharing

Morning everyone, lots of rain here last night, ground looks very wet. Not sure what I will get done today, need to get to plots but it might be too wet to do much.
Good morning Forkers. Helluva hoolie blowing last night and very noisy with it but no damage other than 3 pots on their sides in the potager. Everything has had a bit pf a soaking too which has to be good.
Our guests are not early risers but we did, eventually, get out to have lunch in a seaside restaurant and then a walk along the beach which was surprisingly busy with loads of grown men from a wind and kite surfing club very busy doing what they do in the wind and waves. They surely can't all be teachers with Wednesday pm off?
Lovely and sunny so a good walk with lots of lovely sea air and warm too. More of that this pm but dull this morning.
Hope all are well - or as well as can be expected - and you have a safe and peaceful day.

Leaf colour seems very late this year @punkdoc ... I heard someone on the radio the other day say that it was because of the low light levels this year. I think they also said that there'll be more yellow than orange/red colour ... something to do with with sunlight and sugars. Can't remember the details. Our amelanchier is only just beginning to colour up ... however the blueberries had amazing red leaves ast week.
It's turned cold here .... my first day of 'woolly jumper and cardi' rather than shirt and cardi'. Niece (temporarily in Loughbrough) says it's freezing cold where she is ... but she's used to sunny Portsmouth

Our huge canna (a gift some years ago from @Hostafan1) now has to take it's chances outside @punkdoc ... it's planted in an old plastic dustbin with a huge crack in the side and a load of polystyrene chunks in the bottom and lives in the most sunny and sheltered corner of the terrace. We have no where inside to put it ... it came through last winter and flowered its socks off this summer despite not even having fresh compost ... just a few dollops of tomato food.

You did quite a bit of thanking yesterday @Pat E.
It poured last night, water butts are much fuller. Sunny now.
Today is a housework day.
Very cold today, but bright and sunny.
None of our Beech trees are showing any Autumn colour yet, nor the Acers.

I have several layers on and am about to start tackling the Cannas.
