Still in lockdown

Well, we are into our fifth week of lockdown and it doesn’t get any easier. It makes one realise how lucky we are to have gardens, even if it is autumn and cold, windy and rainy (today).
right now I am busy raking up leaves to make leaf mould. Keeps me fit and busy and there are LOTS of leaves.

I am faced with what to post at this time of year. Not much in the garden to want to photograph and certainly nothing anyone would like to see.

It has turned cold. We have already had -8c at night and it is freezing most nights though I guess it might not freeze tonight as it is raining.

Here are the “yellow crocuses” which are not actually crocuses but stembergia lutea. I am so glad when they flower as they bring some much needed colour in late autumn. I acquired them in the South West of France where they flower in September so the first year I had them I thought they had died. The relief when they started to flower in late October!
