Seeing those gorgeous flowers has brightened my day @michael57 😊 I wish I had a garden but I'm not the best at keeping plants alive!

The summer must last longer in Somerset than Angus? I found my first dead wasp today.

I wonder if it was the chilly nights, or lack of food that finished him off?

LOVE ing the flowers.. :)
Now things are dying back a bit.. Health has had a setback meaning I've had to put off my usual sowing/sweeping, etc at this time of year. The bulbs are waiting to go in, a local gardener has helped me pot up some plants. And the Outlaw harvested the last of the potatoes this week.

Do you need a lodger? I like the sound of Somerset weather! I had 2 miserable, cold hours out with Gus tonight. You could even employ me as chief slug catcher.
