October is here but still it doesn’t feel like autumn.
Iris Too
Summer (just) Iris

Picnic on a Flower
Meanwhile, in a parallel system, the workers go about their daily business in a calm and determined way.
One Tree Hill
This week I took another long walk through the spectacular Kent countryside. The walk started at Lullingstone and went up a hill, one tree hill by my reckoning, through the wheat fields smothered in poppies, across a fairway on a golf course, dodging golf balls and getting lost, along the ridge high above Shoreham and back along the Darent River to Eynsford. All on a most spectacular summery day.
Bud Light
Taken in St John’s Lodge Gardens in Regent’s Park, this Allum bud was in a dark corner of the gardens with a few rays of light shining through the fence from the private villa behind, one of two villas remaining in the park from John Nash’s original plans.
Suddenly Next Summer
Spring was gently doing its bit for the flora and fauna when suddenly summer popped its head around the door. The combination was an electric week of sunshine and freshness in London that showed off the new growth in a stunning fashion as evidenced by these cherry blossoms in Regent’s Park.
