A week into November
and the guineapigs, who have been dutifully moving up and down the grass all summer in their mobile lawnmower
move indoors
as always, they are a little shy
but when nobody is looking they will be out to enjoy their dinner
We hope they are not to warm tonight as they are being hosted in the Juvenile Hedgehog Care Facility where the newly installed insulation adds 10 degrees to the outside temperature
At the other end of the plot the lake, after just one season, is starting to look mature
On the bank we raised behind there is still lots of colour
and the top of the bank gives a good perspective
as scything progresses.
Up in the wood
the hydrangea is reaching its mystical stage
Indoors, Ian pays a little visit
and the good news is that we think he might be a she so instead of eating him we can develop a long relationship
So, at two frosts down, winter has not yet begun to bite
In this times of uncertain climate we take one day
at a time
