Also, the most mischievous.
Little Tuppence decided she'd help daddy in the garden by climbing up his Acer 🐈⬛️😂

It's been quite the temperature change here.
I'm now back in long trousers and I'm even wearing a jacket to go out.
It's much nicer than the heat we've had this summer.
The light's lovely at this time of year, too.

I thought I'd share another shot from my trip to David Austin Roses last week for #RoseWednesday.
It's a fabulous place, well worth the visit 😊🌹

I didn't buy any roses, but did get a trade discount 👍
I also got these fabulous gifts from the David Austin team.

What. A. Day. 🌹
Never have I enjoyed walking in the wet more.
Superb visit to David Austin Roses. It was VIP treatment all the way.
Tours of the selection and breeding beds, the precision sorting and packing process, plus a guided walk around the awesome rose garden.
Wowzers! 🥳

Mugging up for next year 😊
This is quite a brilliant little book. One from my late Dad's collection. I think it's out of print now, but full of useful tidbits.
A *very* belated #ClematisThursday

Busy day yesterday, at a conference where I met this guy 👇. Not sure if he's quite as famous your side of the pond as ours.

A few more shots of my visit to Coughton Court yesterday.
The long perennial borders were something else.
It was definitely worth the visit 👍😊

It's a lovely garden but is suffering under this fierce heat we're having.
The clematis are doing well, though. This one's a real beauty 😍

A slightly belated but very special #ClematisThursday this week.
These beauties below, I photographed today at The National Trust's Coughton Court gardens.
Stunning, aren't they.

We had this wonderful Comma butterfly 🦋 visit us today.
Of course, she would only settle on the most unglamorous part of the garden for me to take her photo 🤷♂️
