I love spindle berry, those seed pods are just such a great colour combination when they split revealing their orange treasure!

Yes, it’s called Rainbow Silence. I order them from a Dutch company called Bulbi

Cool and damp, but still frost free, and the dahlias just keep on giving.

Started the big plant! I see tulip planting as the big end of year tidy, it always takes me five times longer than it should, but I love it. It takes away the pre-winter doom.

I live 12 km from a sugar refinery, on a bad day it has a distinct drain smell, on a bad windy day there is a faint odour in the village.

It’s blowing a hoolie and stair rodding it down, so photos from earlier in the week when there was sunshine and flowers

A collage of photos from an autumn garden, a cobweb in morning sunlight, an apple in the tree, a dinner plate dahlia, yellow calendula and a late flush from the Welsh poppy

Autumn sunshine returning the allure to the garden after days of grey.

Although the dahlias are still going strong the rest of the garden feels in need of putting to bed. Unseasonably cold and wet has made things look pretty shabby.

I don’t know why I agonize over what counts as magenta each week, it is obviously a broad and forgiving church

Don’t worry if the peonies don’t flower for five years, they hate moving and need to keep the same soil level.

I like the layout of the larger piece and the smoother swirls, but I don’t like the swirls on the lower swallow, it reminds me of sexist fantasy armour for women warriors! (Never a good look)

Pachinko on Apple TV, it’s subtitled, but so brilliant even the title scenes are worth watching. 4 generations of Korean immigrants in Japan, forced there in the war, what it means to be an outsider. Beautifully written, excellent acting and the mise en scene and cinematography are just superb
