NOVEMBER'S HERE

 So there is a definite chill in the air and the nights are drawing in and we have now moved into the month of November.

Paul's been putting plants away for the last few weeks, emptying pots and putting them into storage, the leaves that had turned red are now dropping.

The last of the sun hitting the walls of the folly.

This Clematis is still flowering despite the cold.

The folly floor covered by the maple leaves.

Out in the front garden the smoke bush is vibrantly burning red in the corner.

It's beautiful red leaves sing out for several weeks.

The red of the spindle tree brightens the opposite corner by the edge of the drive.

Still flowering at the front are three different Fuchsia's all taken as cuttings by Paul years back. The pale pink came from the garden of a cottage we stayed at in Yorkshire.

The 'Yorkshire ' Fuchsia.

View from the road of the house, well it's behind this wall for shrubs we planted to save us looking out on any cars parked in the road.

View of the house from the drive, still plenty of green and reds.
