Samhain

Mild, sunny - a day in the garden cutting back royal fern, sweeping up leaves and cutting down a hebe that had fallen on the polytunnel. Son#1 took Jo to the airport and he's with us for another couple of days. It feels very quiet without her.
We've just been down to the sea - so calm and mercurial, and then a big bruised sunset afterwards.
This seems fitting for the beginning of Samhain - the old Celtic festival marking coming out of the light into the dark.
