It's autumn, so I just thought I'd treat you to a few pictures from the garden here in Yorkshire. The weather's been lovely for a few days, but there's sometimes a wintry nip in the air in the mornings now.
The roses are starting to go a bit quiet, but 'Shropshire Lad' is still going strong. There's a small chrysanthemum finally doing its thing after surviving as a sickly cutting on the bedroom windowsill over winter and battling the slugs all year.
The grass doesn't need mowing so often, the buddleias have been cut back for the winter and before too many more weeks the geraniums and pots of herbs will have to be brought under cover - but I noticed the other day that there's a primrose flowering! That's global warming for you.

Beautiful pictures, Lindsay! I love this time of year. Wishing you the best!

Thanks, Judith! I'm delighted you liked them! It is a lovely time of year now!
Thanks again, Lindsay
Lindsay, beautiful. I hope it's okay if I copy and print to send to my 80 year old Aunt. She'll appreciate your pics as much as I do. Gorgeous rose.
I found you, Lindsay - fancy you living in Yorkshire - I've been blogging about autumn, too!

Hi Jen! Lovely for you to drop by! Hope to catch you later today on Chatting with Joyfully so we can talk our heads off about how great historicals are!
PS What's the address of your blog, please?
Hi Savanna!
Yes, please use them! I have permission from their 'owner' my husband Alan. (He's the one who takes the pics.)
Hope your aunt enjoys them!
The rose is Shropshire Lad, a climber.
I love your pictures. October is a great month.
Thanks, Linda! October can be a really lovely month. Best wishes, Lindsay
Once I've finished my edits, I'm going to go to my garden centre and see if I can find Shropshire Lad! What a beautiful rose it is! Nothing beats an English garden. There's just something special about them! Magic!
