This annoying term “awful April” just needs putting in perspective. I didn’t hear any such term back then when things were spiralling out of control

It’s the time of year for knocking out Christmas wreaths for family & friends. Feeling festive working with winter plants, tunes on radio, & Storm Darragh blowing outside.
Cotoneaster, holly, mistletoe, yew, cypress, iris seed pods, skimmia, hydrangea, & eucalyptus

Mistletoe season is here again. What a magical plant, a parasite growing out of my apple trees. These are from seeds planted 8 years ago. Every March I take ripe seeds out when running & plant some in every apple tree I come across. Loads of young mistletoes all over the place now!

Last run of autumn on the last day of autumn. Along stretch of the Tyne between Scotswood & Newburn Bridges where dozens of rowers from all over were competing. Great the things you stumble upon when out for a run!
