Pumpkins and Turkeys

After a lovely week away for late sunshine, it was a joy to visit the garden today.
Despite the 27 degree difference, the first frost and the start of a diet!!! it was just glorious in the sunshine.


The dahlias were touched by frost.....






......but I managed to find a few for the house.




There were even a few alstromeria.




Some helichrysum still going strong.

The sheep came right up to the garden fence by the polytunnel. Just being nosy I think.


I brought the first dahlias in and the pot of geraniums.
























My brother and sister in law brought Frazer and Fletcher to see us.

We had wheelbarrow rides, sat in the new chairs and went to see the turkeys.













We admired the lovely pumpkin lantern.


















The trees bordering the garden taking on autumn hues.








An interesting colourful harvest today.
Peppers, tomatoes and beetroot in our very welcome salad this evening.

No matter where we travel, it is so good to get home again, even if it does mean
fur blankets, vests and log fires.
Come to think of it, I like that just as much.
