The weather over the past few weeks has been uninpiring to say the least. Today Summer has returned, the sky an expanse of blue and barely a cloud to be seen. The mornings are getting darker with a distinct nip in the air.

Today I see something of a first, the resident black cat and Fox together side by side, quite content in each other's company and quite happy to ignore each other!

I love to hear the tic-tic of the Robin, and see a group of sparrows taking food from under the bird table. Thumper, the woodpigeon, is rapidly taking food off the birdtable! Small and large white butterflies are enjoying Nicotiana Sylvestris, a plant I would highly recommend if you have the space.

The garden is changing, now Autumn is fast approaching. Rosa rugosa has turned to hips and trees and shrubs are showing their clusters of red berries.

The plants looking at their best, are Sedum with its red/pink florettes and the cerise/red combination of Dahlias.

Today I make a start in moving plants into different spaces around the garden.
