The windmill on the marsh. Winter is a truly beautiful season in many parts of the UK, including here at Cley-next-the-Sea. The sky is big and the air is clean and crisp.

Was a glorious day for a beach walk along the Norfolk coast. The seals, working their way to the birthing beaches, kept popping up to keep a curious eye on me.

Good morning. A babbling brook, in this case referred to locally as a beck. The origin of words in English is fascinating. Whether you call it a stream, brook or beck may just depend on where you live.

Red roses are always hard to capture well on a phone camera. Here in two modes is the carpet rose Sunset from the garden this week. Wishing you a bright #roseWednesday.

One highlight of the November garden for many in the UK has been the roses which have kept going for so long. This is Rosa ‘Lucky’ a few days ago.

A path. A dog. Trees in perspective. A big sky and crisp, clean air.

Penstemon ‘Czar’. Such a useful plant to keep the garden looking bright on a mixed weather, late autumn day.

Hanging on in the mid November garden, a single opened rose bloom of ‘Princess Anne’ in morning sun this week.

A few roses are still hanging on in the garden as we move into late autumn frosts. This is the low growing, ‘flower carpet Sunset’, fighting the elements.

Still going in the garden as we edge towards the winter months, this old polyantha rose ‘The Fairy’ is keeping things bright and positive for this #roseWednesday. Have a great day.

The sunset’s on fire. Over the back of the garden right now. Time to pack up for the day and head inside.
