Roses And Time

The Lady Emma Hamilton with its last flowering Rose. The wind and rain has decimated the other Roses before they could be photographed.
Last night at 2am the clocks went back an hour, another sign of the changing seasons. The end of British Summer time.
The time for the post will be in Greenwich Mean Time. It will stay like that untill March of next year.
The only difficulty is reminding yourself to reset every clock in the house. Time is everywhere. I have a silver mantel clock, a kitchen wall clock, the microwave has a clock, the mobile phone, and finally the Computer. The PC reset itself with no assistance from me.
The sun is shining today and I got up before midday with the light streaming through the curtains. The LEH is still a thing of beauty and this is maybe the twentieth bloom on the plant. I hope it can sleep over the winter and rebloom anew with fresh vigour next year.
Today I hope to make some Jack O Lanterns at Hils for Halloween, only five days away.

Awaiting...

Wednesday and no joy from the council yet about my allotment application. I have been researching Carousels for a new painting subject. I did have a fairground book with the history of them.

My seeds have not germinated yet.The Gazanias look green but are developing slowly. Its cold outside, and i still want some dirt to dig.

My seeds have not arrived from Suttons yet. I will have fun planting them. My plan is to get the trays with 24 cells for each type and grow 24 of each..

Busy lizzies, geraniums, etc.

Springtime is in the air, moving towards us slowly. When you are waiting for things time moves very slowly,very snail like.. hence the lifted pic.
