Sumac

Yesterday was a very stormy day, the wind howled long into the night and thunder, lightening and rain introduced us all to winter. I lay in bed last night feeling very cosy under my duvet.
I didn't go outside at all yesterday so this colourful sumac from Saturday will have to surfice. Note the crocus behind in the left handside - they are either 7 months late or 5 months early.

On a more optimistic note, the blonde headed clown pulled out of the Tory leadership race last night saying "it was not the right time although he did have requisite number of votes", we all know his relationship with the truth is tenuous at best, a real porky teller! 102 endorsements my eye.
