A few roses are still hanging on in the garden as we move into late autumn frosts. This is the low growing, ‘flower carpet Sunset’, fighting the elements.

Still going in the garden as we edge towards the winter months, this old polyantha rose ‘The Fairy’ is keeping things bright and positive for this #roseWednesday. Have a great day.

The sunset’s on fire. Over the back of the garden right now. Time to pack up for the day and head inside.

Against a dark backdrop the colours of a mandarin duck show beautifully.

There’s no escaping a bit of hard graft at this time of year if your garden has trees or hedges or both. As gardeners know though, the rewards are so worth it.

From yesterday afternoon’s dog walk. I’m enjoying the recent mild, sunny autumn days in these parts.

Standing strong in the shortening October days, this red velvet rose bloom making a statement in the garden.

Bit of a wild one on the pier just now with a stiff on-shore breeze.

You can tell that the weather is changing when even the finger posts start putting their hats on.

Fascinating medieval carvings in the stones inside Norwich castle. The newly-refurbished interior is excellent and well worth a visit if you’re in the area.
