Pow!

Look at this for a self sown buddleia flower!!  I either have never looked closely enough or paid attention to the flowers properly.  This self sowed itself in a flower pot and since nothing else was growing in it I have let it get to flowering stage.. wowza!!  it is luminous .. perhaps I should keep it!

It has been the coldest summers day... no breaks in a leaden sky and really rather dreary.. hot soup would be good!! It is still only August but...brrr! Socks and shoes back on.  

A good picking of ripe plums from the tree.. yumm
