Back to the fuchsia

Today I'm going to see my football team play at home. It will be the first time since my new hip and I feel ready to sit on the uncomfy plastic seat and to cope with the lack of leg (and other) room. I will take care on the steps at the end of the match - but I want to get back to support the lads at what is a difficult time for them.

I'm a Nottingham Forest season ticket holder (and I saw one game under the ill-fated Steve MacClaren before my op). We have a new manager, but maybe the same old problems ?

So I wandered round the garden with the macro lens this morning and I found many of my old friends and some of the blooms still braving the seasons

the last rose of autumn lingering on ?
