I’ve just heard the geese go overhead in the rain. Their arrival around here usually presages the first frosts. Although that seems unlikely in the current wind and downpour it reminds me that I must bring any non-hardy plants indoors. We seem to have gone from summer to winter overnight – what happened to all the mists and mellow fruitfulness?

This wonderful cherry of an unknown variety – a Winter Cherry or an Early-flowering Cherry which looks very like our St Lucie Cherry – is just down Pensby Road from us. Both last year and this it has been absolutely covered in blossom.
