It feels like a long autumn – in a good way. There’s barely been a frost (just-about one morning), trees are still partly green, and the garden has some colour. To celebrate, I’ve gone for a mishmash of flowers and foliage for this week’s #SixonSaturday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardy fuschia love Scotland. These looked absolutely hammered in the heatwave, but with the late summer rains, they have recovered and are at their best now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last, but not least, another lovely nasturtium. I hope they keep going for a few more weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was my attempt to keep chipper with colour, despite world and national chaos. I hope you enjoyed my #SixonSaturday. Stay safe, take care out there, get a flu jab if you can afford to (its going to be a tough old winter, again) and don’t forget to follow the crowd on twitter and via the web from links to the originator of #SixonSaturday, the\u00a0Propagator<\/a> himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
