Just past bonfire night. As we’re under Tier 2 restrictions, there were no bonfire parties. Cosy at home, didn’t really miss it to be honest. There’s brightness and twinkles in the garden, a surprising amount for November (no frosts yet). First this week, the last of the prunus leaves are hanging on, and look stunning against a blue blue sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more detail this week, perennial cornflower. This is one plant that does reliably respond to a good chop back after flowering. The little flashes of purple will stay until the first frosts (still not much sign, fingers crossed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally this week, spiraea with a view. A misty morning set these stems off against the fields and woods beyond the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
