I haven't written a blog post since the beginning of September. However, Mr P is able to drive again so we've been out-and-about locally. I went to the library in the park the other day, changed some books and walked in the walled garden. The weather has been wet and windy, but it was good to get out again.
There were still a lot of plants in flower in the rose garden and in the walled garden.
hydrangeas
climbing roses
delphinium, cone flowers
The boat which acts as a planter was full of Autumn flowers and Michaelmas daisies.
Our son came for a visit recently and brought us a pot of mixed plants, mainly ferns.
sunflowers
hollyhocks
dahlias
The new entrance to the library is a little confusing, but it leads to the stable block café, the park, lake and the wild garden.

.... and here are the Michaelmas daisies in our own garden
Here are the books I collected from the library, a children's book, an autobiography about someone who worked for the BBC (British Broadcasting Company), a picture history written by an historian and a novel set in Rome, Italy.
It was our great granddaughter's first birthday on Saturday.
On the way home we stopped to take photos of the crocheted topper on the post box because of the Autumn theme. There were pumpkins, red-capped mushrooms and a quirky looking owl.
I hope you have a good week. Thank you for coming by,
Linda P
