What happened in November?
For me November involves a great deal of leaf clearing. I sweep all year but in November it is serious stuff, and, because of high rainfall this autumn, it is soggy, clingy stuff. It is a task that I enjoy, however and with two large compost bays full I look forward with pleasure to the the leaf mould that will be produced.
We can almost see the neighbours' house once the leaves have fallen.
Not too much more to clear now.
If we get a day of good weather we take a walk by the beach, with the pleasure of having it almost to ourselves.
A rainbow appeared at Hengistbury Head, but the grey sky told us that we'd better head for home!

I have to admit, we mostly leave the leaves where they fall. They are rotted away by spring, but of course it wont look quite so tidy as tour gardens will.
ReplyDeleteI can't say that our garden is very tidy and I don't especially want it to be ,but our gravel paths would disappear if I didn't keep sweeping. I leave leaves to mulch on the underplanting and out of the way areas. Large oak and birch trees tower over us so the thing I like least is very windy weather!
DeleteThe coast in winter is a very different beast to the summer version.
ReplyDeleteBoth are good in their own way.
DeleteThat rainbow is fantastic! And your garden photos capture the atmosphere of late autumn so well.
ReplyDeleteThere is always a bit of childlike delight in a rainbow!
DeleteLovely to look at your autumn garden as we keep watering to keep ours alive.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do sympathise. After our drought-stricken summer I know what you battling with!
