Picked these from the garden today before the hurricane comes. Mind you it is very windy already and very warm.

My mother is staying with us at the moment and she has just made me these beautiful autumn baskets from bits and bobs out of the garden. Still creative at 85!

Thanks Nemesis and Blodyn. I have passed your comments on to my mum and she is looking very pleased with herself. Actually you can't imagine how beneficial your words were. She has been a bit poorly lately. We don't think anything bad physically but it has shaken her confidence as she lives on her own normally. We are now on a boosting confidence crash course so the comments really helped!

some dark, autumnal, flowery pictures.






All we need now is a mild, frost free winter, and these flowers should carry on well into January!

Took this this morning just before the sun went in. Very frosty night. Did you have a frost in Llandudno?

That's beautiful, Hollins, what gorgeous colours. 

How's your Mum, by the way?  I hope she's feeling better by now.
