The grass here has now gone white, quite a few minutes after this video. I am in the Chilterns.

On this cold and frosty morning I give you a sunny perennial sunflower 🌻 from before the frost. I suspect there’ll be none left after last night. Have a lovely day everyone 😁🌱

With the change in the weather this week and overnight frost we’ll be saying goodbye to the nasturtiums for this year. They’ve had a good long season. 🌱

I know these have a proper name but I can never remember it, the name I have in my head is Chinese fuchsia. Anyhow, the bush flowered really well this year, only just finished. 🌱

I forgot to post a flower pic earlier, I was too excited about the prospect of my first proper shower since my foot op. Anyhow, I feel wonderful now, and I had a trip out for lunch too with beloved OH. Managed fine on crutches now that I am allowed to put my bad foot down. Have a happy flower 😁 🌱

Second sock on the way and pattern matched to the first one. What a wet and miserable day this has been thanks to Storm Claudia. Definitely a day for staying cozy indoors knitting 🧶

I have two flower photos for you today. The last of the beautifully scented Nicotiana. These were grown from seed. Sadly disappearing into brown mush with our wet and cold November weather. Very wet overnight and it’s still raining. 🌱

Some cheerful marigolds for Thursday. We’ve got a frost coming soon só that will be the end of them until next year. But for now let’s enjoy the sunny splash of colour. 🌱

Another pic today from before my foot operation. This pelargonium (geranium) has flowered for months, absolutely adore the colour. When I finally got to go outside yesterday on my way to the hospital to get my plaster changed it was still flowering. Couldn’t take a pic yesterday sadly. 🌱

#BloomScrolling this is the very first petunia I have ever managed to grow from seed without a greenhouse. I was dead chuffed with this. I was gifted some seed and just took a chance. Sadly this was the only plant but what a beauty 😍🌱
