Winter has hit...

Even in sub-tropical Cornwall!


Cheery bird is frosted and guarding his solid pool...


Leaves are rimed and furred...


and the dried fallen leaves and lawn become as gorgeous as the the more exotic Cotinus Purple Haze whose leaves will now drop quickly.



But have I lost my Echium Pininana?

How could I forget it, I've nursed it through one winter in it's slow progress to the 10 foot spire of flowers I'm aiming for next year, and then I forget to cover it at the first sign of frost. 

Well, I shall cover it once the frost has cleared today and keep my fingers crossed, but I'm a bit gloomy. I'll keep you informed.
