remember, remember...

The world turns to November, it is time to put the garden to bed. The jasmine has been cut within an inch of it's life, the pots have been emptied and the decaying summer plants are returning to the Earth.  Some planets are coming into their element.

One of my very favourite things is to open the curtains and see the cheerfulness of brightly coloured cyclamens early on a morning...

I love the way they are all twisted until they are ready to show themselves to the world...

The garden this time of year always looks better having winter-flowering pansies...

Now that November is here, I feel justified in getting on with my Christmas crochet projects: I can't wait any-longer...
