I garden. I read books. I like country walks, wildlife and wildflowers. I wish I lived nearer to the sea.

#SevenonSunday First of November and Cosmos, Marigolds, Nasturtium, Tagetes and Dahlias are still flowering nicely. The sun is shining and I found my sunglasses that I'd left outside overnight.

#SixOnSaturday Halloween edition. Even managed a (not quite) black cat. Varying degrees of success with pumpkin growing this year. Pleased with my pumpkin carving effort. 👻 Scarecrow from Calke Abbey. #HappyHalloween May you get many treats and no tricks.

#FlowersonFriday After a slow start, my Dahlias have performed wonderfully this year and provided me with lots of bunches for the house.

Sad news indeed about Sir Patrick Stewart. I was lucky enough to see him and Sir Ian McKellan in ‘Waiting for Godot’ at Milton Keynes back in 2009.
