The garden back at the end of October, still some colour but definitely end of season. 🌱 A much warmer day here today. Really must crack on with writing Xmas cards.

More sock progress, I present to you sock number one with almost finished sock number three and the start of sock number four. I am currently wearing sock number two on my good foot. The other one is still in plaster after an operation to fix it. 🧶

Have been visiting my parents, it has been a very welcome break away from my confinement on the boat whilst my foot is in plaster. This is Mum’s Christmas cactus which usually starts flowering from now until January 🌱.

On this cold and frosty morning I give you a sunny perennial sunflower 🌻 from before the frost. I suspect there’ll be none left after last night. Have a lovely day everyone 😁🌱

With the change in the weather this week and overnight frost we’ll be saying goodbye to the nasturtiums for this year. They’ve had a good long season. 🌱

I know these have a proper name but I can never remember it, the name I have in my head is Chinese fuchsia. Anyhow, the bush flowered really well this year, only just finished. 🌱

I forgot to post a flower pic earlier, I was too excited about the prospect of my first proper shower since my foot op. Anyhow, I feel wonderful now, and I had a trip out for lunch too with beloved OH. Managed fine on crutches now that I am allowed to put my bad foot down. Have a happy flower 😁 🌱

Second sock on the way and pattern matched to the first one. What a wet and miserable day this has been thanks to Storm Claudia. Definitely a day for staying cozy indoors knitting 🧶
