Acer conspicuum ‘Red Flamingo’ etc

Everything is flourishing, Karen! Such a lovely area, well designed.

I second that ...

Thanks so much. It’s now our third day of rain…:(

Tomorrow looks set to be thunder and lightning much of the day ... seems to happen annually now at this time of year.

Well Shirley, let’s hope it’s not a repeat of last autumn cause that was truly horrible!

Karen, I despair of the BBC weather forecast as yesterday turned out to be lovely in the afternoon, not a rumble of thunder.

And it didn’t rain again here either! Have you seen the latest? We are in for an Arctic blast!

Well, I really hope they've got that wrong too!
