Sorbus..

oh heck ~ better make the treacle toffee for bonfire night!!

It does seem early ... but it can't be ?

Blimey Pimms,,, nice bunch there :-)

Oh, that is early! Autumn already ....... dear me......

They are all like this here Oji... the yellow ones as well

The first signs of autumn colour on here - aah well!

One of my Acers has started showing signs of it's autumn colour!!

I looked around my back garden today and had the same thought, some of the plants look like there going over! some hosta and heuchera and even more snail/slug activity, its cold here, i would put the heating on but the combi has broke down!!! give me strength :))

Usually the only time of year that it doesn't matter that the boiler breaks down YDD...sods law eh!!!
I'm getting fed up at the sound of the tumble drier!

Yeah scottish,Sods law, heatings been on twice this week, I have to dry the washing somehow, i dont have a tumble drier, heating engineer's coming tomorrow, I dont know what could of went this time, its had a new pump and circuit board, a wee bit fed up at the mo..

I have a Spinner rather than a dryer.... *Most things iron dry.

* Iron ?

Love these,Pimms,but haven't noticed any round here yet..mind you,not been out much..:o) bit early though..not quite ready for autumnal sights yet :o(..and an iron is a thing you put on the fire to heat up,and you burn a nice shape on your best shirt ..

too early!!!! lol

Dont need to worry about ironing.....i live with my mother :)))))

excellent!

The Sorbus looks stunning but I refuse to have Autumn yet.
Sympathise with you Young DD - have same problem but the boiler is working. Still seems crazy to have to put it on in mid-July tho'.

Well apart from my washer going up in smoke a couple of weeks ago,and discovering a hole in the polycarbonate roof of the Conservatory yesterday..everything is peachy dandy here ! :o(

IRon!!!!!!!!!????????????? wth is that lol

Wonderful photo, Pims. I can't believe autumn is THAT close: when I saw it I thought you'd posted last year's picture. We have brown leaves and dead grass here, but that is heat and drought. I've been trying to germinate sorbus seeds for a few years now with absolutely zero success.
I only have to put one lot of washing out on the line, go into the house to make a cuppa tea, come out and everything is bone dry. The problem IS ironing in this heat - I dread it and have a spare bedroom full of stuff waiting to be done
Seriously, Sticki, we have bonfire night here tonight! No treacle toffee, though (What's treacle?). It's only a one-shop village, but every year there's a HUGE firework display, and thousands of people come from miles and miles around, and the crashes and whizzes and music echoes round the mountains. If we climbed out of the skylight up in the roof, we could see it all from our house, but, unfortunately, we have to climb 2 kilometres up the mountain for a really good view. We've all been praying that the Forestry people don't put the mockers on it because of the fire risk - this mountain has burnt before, and it's very, very scary. Normally the ban on outdoor fires doesn't go on until August, but this year it has been tinder dry for months.

My Mums philosophy on life . . . if it don't move - iron it!
I wonder how long before the birds descend on your Sorbus and devour the lot Pimp?
