Post Comment Love 9 - 11 October

Hello there, 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 may 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.

In the past week or so we’ve been on what seems like a whistlestop tour of the gardens of Devon and the Cotswolds, and I’m not going to lie it’s been great, though it has also contributed to a quieter time on here lately. Not only have I made good use of my National Trust membership with visits to Killerton, Castle Drogo and Hidcote but I’ve also used my RHS membership and their partnership scheme when visiting Hestercombe.

Of course that means many, many photos - but the weather has been glorious. It’s turning more October-like from here on in, but boy we’ve been spoilt.

This week’s photo is from one of my all time favourite plants - a red hot poker, which was basking in the October sun in Hidcote’s gardens.

Have a great week.

As we say a great big hello to October it felt right to share the image of this pumpkin which we saw on our recent visit to the Moco Museum in London. It’s by Yayoi Kusama who said she ‘loves pumpkins because of their humorous form, warm feeling, and a human like quality.’ And some of them are absolutely the weirdest shapes aren’t they? But they’re also good to eat, and that’s what I like about them most! Just saying.

Have a great start to October.

It’s been good to see the sun and feel its warmth briefly again this week, and it’s spurred us on to restart our garage tidy up and sort out project. Though the other main driver for that is to get it more sorted ahead of the winter, and ahead of storing our garden furniture in there - I think we’ll get it sorted before then, fingers crossed - though we do plan to use our pizza oven possibly one last time, to really enjoy the last of the weather - fingers crossed.

I rediscovered my photo this week as I was editing some from our trip to Angers earlier in the summer. It’s from a display in the central square in Angers, which is known as the green city, and it really is, but what I loved about this giant watering can, was the beaded droplets of water tumbling down the iron plant supports.

It’s just fabulous, have a great week.
