It's truly autumn in the garden and all the leaves have fallen off the vines. We are tempted to start pruning but the rule of thumb is that January is the time, around St Vincent's Feast Day.
The roses are still going strong and today is comparatively mild. Yesterday we had nasty squalls with hail and thunder much of the day. They came on suddenly and really dumped when they did. The sky was quite dramatic all day long, with giant black clouds silhouetted against brilliant sunshine. When it hailed, the polytunnel was very loud.
The ground is saturated and standing water is everywhere. We can't even walk the land, and it's quite early for that condition. It's good the donkeys left last week.
