November afternoon in the garden

Lovely photos dorjac :-))

Loved your photos.

Loved the photo's what a shame about your heuchera so glad you managed to save it:)

I've yet to discover all the pests that can attack our plants and grassed areas. I hope you'll find the heuchera have all recovered...well spotted with the weevils.

Your photos are really good, thanks Dorjac, and your kitty is lovely too...love calico cats :)

Lovely blog Dorjac. I particularly like the last photo with the autumnal vine and the nice blue arbour....looks a great sheltered spot!

Your garden looks wonderful Dorjac. What a lovely area to sit in during the warmer weather. Winter is here in Glasgow and it is dark by four.

Yes, we are plunged into winter gloom here too Linda. I try to get out in it for as long as possible, just to get some daylight on my face! Today I was out there for about three hours picking leaves out from the gravel (groan!) and doing a bit of tidying up. I used to do my old garden in one or two days every autumn, but now I have so much more, I have to do it a bit at a time. Shame really, as I liked the quick transformation to 'winter tidiness'! How do you cope with your painting in winter? Do you have to work during daylight hours...or are you like me and make use of a daylight lamp?

Thanks for your kind comments ladies. A lovely sunny day here in Essex. GJ wanted to go out as his 2 trips this week have been flu jab and blood test! As soon as we got into the countryside down came the fog. As we reached North Weald airfield for our dinner.... out came the sun. Drove back in fog to the GC to even things up. Got in the shop area and there was a fire-drill. So I got thrown out....end of visit.

lovely blog. The squirrels are a pain in the fluffy tail. we have a drey in one of the trees that backs onto our garden and there are 5 in the group. nice photos too.

I should hate five of the little so and sos in my small town garden Seaburngirl. I wouldn't have to bother with a rotavator. Motto is not to have a productive Hazel nut tree.

I have to work in the daylight Karen. Lamplight is yellow and gives a false reading, you think the colours are richer than they really are. I can't paint after three in the winter and some days are too dark altogether. The sun gets lower and moves across the room differently too. I still paint tho'.
