You've captured some lovely colour there on your new road.

I too have been sorting out the garden ... general tidying and replanting. Put cyclamen and winter pansies/violas in the tubs and pulled up lots of bedding plants. Some of them were looking very scraggy, others still good and a shame to disturb them but I have to remember, one frost and they will be gone anyway. Also seeing lots of autumn red here but not yet to the extent of yours.Lady Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050899813793376037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-40872790042708654372016-10-11T11:44:55.162-04:002016-10-11T11:44:55.162-04:00Thanks Helena.
