    Monty was going on about how we always get 'September light' on GW last week. As our sky has looked like this since the beginning of July, we've had precious little light, apart from dull, flat grey with the odd flash of lightning

    But this morning we had one of those classic autumn misty sunrises when the hills slowly appear out of infinity, so I took a few snaps:

    Night frosts??!!  Love the cotinus and web.

    Love the nosy neighbours.  We had them in Belgium, came to watch me plant a new bed a few years ago now.

    You're a poet, Raisingirl.  image  Nice photos, too!

    Love that pale blue sky, Pat!  Bet it's cold though.

    Thanks folks. Yes it's cold Of a night, but the last two days have been clear and a bit warmer, thank goodness.

    yup - it got down to 2 degrees here last night and about 3 the night before. Not quite 'scraping the ice' conditions but cold enough to start to hit the more tender plants.

    Liri - thanks image
