Post Comment Love 7 - 9 November

Hello there, and welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.

Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed, and if you see older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

I’m sharing another photo from our recent trip away for this week’s post. This one was taken in the barn at Great Dixter where it was a joy to see so many seed heads drying. In fact the whole garden was fantastic, as was the house, but it was the garden that really shone for me. Maybe that was because it was always going to, or because it was the day after the rain and winds and nature was doing its best to put on a brave face, who knows. But the garden, for me, was magnificent because it wasn’t too manicured, and had more of a ‘lived in’ and 'used’ feel to it if you know what I mean.

Have a great week.

We had a few days away last week with family but with Storm Benjamin also arriving some of our plans were slightly scuppered for the first day. It rained so much - just look at those puddles in my photo this week, they weren’t there when we arrived at the cottage. I was lucky though with this shot as the evening sun caught the leaves on the trees, just seconds later and it was gone - truly the magical hour.

Have a great week.

Last week I shared a photo of the tiny yellow crab apples, this week it’s what they’ve become - the most bejewelled chilli jelly. And it made much more than I expected it too as well, so now I have nine little jewell filled jars, and plans to make some more with the addition of plums - assuming the crab apples survive the current Storm Benjamin!

Wherever you are I hope you’ve managed to stay dry and out of the wind - observing from inside is way better than experiencing it first hand!

Have a great week.
