Lady of Shallot glowing in #Michaelmas sunshine. Can never resist collecting conkers! It’s a mast year (meaning bumper crop) for chestnut and oak trees.

Climbing rose Peach Melba, her petal colour softening as autumn creeps in. In these fractious times, the regular rhythm of #RoseWednesday is a calming highlight. Take care everyone. 🌱

That was windy! Half expected Hayling Island to have drifted out into the Solent! Sweet Pretty and Prosperity somehow managed to hang onto their petals.
β€˜Tis calmer today, hope so for you too.

β€˜Lady of Shallot’ looking serene before the arrival of β€˜false autumn’. Blustery winds, rain, flying petals and leaves, crab apples plopping on the ground, seems very much like proper #autumn!
Happy #RoseWednesday every one, have a good day, take care. 🌱
