November already!
The woeful lack of posting on this blog speaks more of the lack of time, than the absence of activity....
Still, not good enough and priorities will have to be changed!
We have had days of wind and rain, causing much flooding in the local area,
The odd gaps in the deluge reveal the garden still ablaze with points of colour, mainly form the berries barks and vestigial leaves.
