Lemon a day

I decided to go back to the Solomon’s seal and change the background by moving the flowers to a different place. This is a bit lighter and fresher and I think that the stem has got a little bit longer in the two days.

Politics can be fascinating. I have realised that the whole thing is really quite miraculous, because I do believe that the majority of people in this country were appalled by the scandal of MP’s expenses and the arrogance and greed exposed by it.  It cannot have been planned but the electorate have managed, without any mechanism at their disposal, election results that have not pleased anyone but the Greens. A bloody nose for all parties pretty much.

There has been comment that yesterdays garden pictures should have had a sunglasses warning …here are some more restful shots. Apple Newton Wonder, Rhododendron no idea.

We’re getting frost and the tomatoes, banana and dahlias are all out there. I don’t remember frost this late in Sussex ever before .
