Autumn?

It’s looking a lot like Autumn in the garden right now. Luckily, most of the leaves are from the surrounding trees not ours and that’s probably because all our shower water goes on our trees.

Thought we might see some rain today as it got very dark and stormy. We did - about 10 drops!

Woke up this morning to a lovely birthday present of my first Water Lily bloom. Chuffed!

The rest of the garden is just about surviving the drought (no rain since mid May) by using bath and washing up water, but I’m not sure about the grass. Not wishing to use the sprinkler too much, even though we don’t have a hose pipe ban, I’m hoping it will recover once we do eventually get some rain.

Nothing to do with me!

Call the RSPB (Royal Society for the Prevention of Bad Taste), something strange has landed in my pond!

Pond life

Great to see damselflies using the pond already.

Sprinklering

Not sure that “sprinklering” is a word but let’s hope that there isn’t a hosepipe ban!
Plants are being positioned and going in, at last.

Grass!

What a difference a lawn makes.

Trees

Trees!
