well it looks like summer is finally over according to weather forecast. they say we are in for a lot of snow urggggg!!!!!!
hope they got that wrong ……… but its normally the good whether they get wrong lol.
have had the log burner going most of this week ,and brought a lot of plants in. as they say its going to be a frost in the morning. i have wrapped my potato vine up. ( a promise to heron) yes i have done it !!!!!!!! still have things to bring in .i despratly want to be in the garden but its getting too dark now and cold . went to arley hall and gardens for the day on sunday ,was a nice day. there was a wedding fare on so we got in for free . they are stunning … i was like a kid in a sweet shop lol. i will put some pics on wen i get them and do a blog but if anyone lives over near me they shud go ,well worth it.
any way i thort it will be nice to look at a few fav pics from the summer . and ponder wot nxt year will bring .
happy gardening. wots left of it christina

What a beautiful array of plants you have, Cristina. It is nice to be reminded of all the summer colour...as you say it is getting colder and the days are drawing in. I too hope the forecasters have got it wrong....I am not a fan of ice and snow!

We have visited Arley Hall many years ago and it was a lovely sight then. I remember we took my late mother-in-law with us...she knew a lot about plants and loved the outing.

Wrap up warm when you're out and about on these chillier days, Cristina. Thank you for your pretty photos.

I thought I'd clicked on a different blog, from the Summer. Who would think those lovely pics were taken 2/3 through October. Heavy frost last night so hope they survived.

It's nice to look back to remind ourselves of the passing season. We can look forward to next year in the hope we'll see it all again :o))

I hope we don't get any snow. I hate it more than I can say lol ....

Very nice, a joy to look at Cristina, love that pink rose, a gorgeous colour.
Now, just tell me where you heard or read that this winter was going to be cold and snowy - I keep hearing this from people, but whenever you ask what their source is, they don't know. Is it the Met Office? Some weather guru? The BBC? Is it a reliable source, in other words.

Unfortunatly it is to what degree they get it wrong in winter, they never seem to be right in summer which is dissapointing but at this time of year I like to know about driving conditions...
