Unexpected welcome

I’d almost given up on the pot of asters I bought back in June - everything else I picked up on that day has been flowering all summer and I’d forgotten that the label in this pot said “autumn “. And the pot beside it, a throwback to past years, had a few self-seeded nasturtiums that seem to have decided to flower ...

Anyway, when I went out today there they were. The rest of the garden is a bit rampant and rather messy, but I was delighted with this little collection.

We’re still eating store-cupboard stuff, but I spent the morning on laundry and emails and the afternoon on s walk up Glen Massan. We saw three red squirrels scampering up trees and one that sat watching us with its tail lying right along its back.

We’re home!
