So here we are, wildflower meadow in waiting. It rained the day after it was sown so hopefully that will wash the seed down to the soil.
Elsewhere the rather hard, despite being ripened on a windowsill, Conference pears at least look the part - perhaps need pickling and the Bramley apples are still not all off the tree.
There is much colour in the garden despite it being October -
The pots by the door are doing all right - euphorbias and violas. There are various pot around the house - some shabby, some a bit better. The big tubs with the Lilium regale are tucked away now the stems have been cut back, to be box balls (or not to be) are scattered around and the tulip pots are either side of the big window. We could do with a dozen really nice pots but they are expensive so . . .
Elsewhere light does help, when the sun deigns to shine - on the alchemilla leaves spotted with rain and the hydrangea paniculata now turning pink. The Annabelle is showing some signs of being a bit tired, fed up with its heavy heads lying on the ground, some bracts a bit brown. R has cut some stems and they are in a vase in the house. 
The Gardener has been, sides of stream strimmed, part of wood same, one of the cherry trees cut back as getting too big - 3 side branches removed.
The Euonymus has not been moved, yet - too splendid at the present.
Leaves are falling - had to sweep by back door - and autumn is definitely here.
Heard Robert Harris on radio describing our government as a Morris Minor affair when we need a Rolls Royce - too true.
All looks so good.
