A rainbow week! Lots of showers, lots of sunny interludes which created lovely rainbows at times.
Tonight it is chucking it down. Been across the moor to Lynton cinema (Anna Karenina - brilliant) and it was a white-knuckle drive back with rain in sheets, localised flooding and nothing but cats' eyes to guide me! Should be better tomorrow though!
It's been a glorious day in Essex today. Cut the grass - well, picked up more leaves than grass.. and then did the edges.Took in about 6" from the grass to make the flower beds a bit bigger and definitely planning to take even more from around my conifers where the grass won't grow - then I'll have to buy some more plants/bulbs!
Glorious here in the SW, too. And what a difference a few hours make! Went across the moor again to Barnstaple - the most wonderful views across to Wales, with blue sea as calm as a millpond. Getting cooler tonight, but hopefully it'll be almost as good again tomorrow.
Warm and sunny here, went over the border to Yorkshire for the day where it was even warmer. White cloud interspersed with blue skies.
Managed to get into the garden for an hour or so. Planted some garlic, sowed sweetpea and potted some bulbs. It has been fairly warm in the GH, and today I picked another bowl of toms.
Caroline - you must have seen me waving! It was gorgeous looking across the Bristol channel which, you must admit, can look rather murky at times! Beautiful clear blue today, though.
Beautiful morning here, a bit chilly but lovely blue sky. The top temperature is given as 13c today so the days are definitely getting cooler, and the evenings are drawing in.
You have to get amove on the get jobs done, no going out after tea!
Nice and sunny today and quite warm. Still putting the garden to bed the place looks like a bomb has hit and the compost bins are full so i best get recycling bags that the dustmen will take. Think the weather this week is going to be ok so i maybe a trip out to the butterflies near Chichester.
It had to be one of the warmest days this year here either that or I've possibly got accustomed to it being wet and cold all the time. Sunny and clear blue skies. Got loads done in the garden then sat and read, taking in the sun.
That's the trouble with us gardeners, we have a fine day and work like crazy and often don't think of sitting and relaxing in a bit of autumn sunshine! Glad you did the right thing and enjoyed it Zoomer44
Shrinking Violet - I thought it was you waving yesterday

A beautiful warm sunny day here in South Wales.
Shrinking Violet - went down to Swansea Beach and had lovely views across to you too!

Good morning all.
