Hello there, and welcome back 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 from the linky, and if 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 this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

Thanks for all your love on my sunflowers last week - they’ve had a tumultuous week, what with the wind and the rain. They were blown over, stood back up and then blown over again - they’re currently still laying low (and I don’t blame them) but trying their best to flower. Even in their laid low state a couple of the smaller sunflowers have made an appearance, but with more weather forecast I’m tempted to let them do their own thing, at their own angle for the time being, as the bees are still managing to find them!

I think there’s no denying that summer is well and truly over, even though yesterday was a gloriously sunny day, but our heating is almost on, almost. The radiators upstairs are starting to come on each morning as it’s chilly enough, and we’re upping the temperature of our underfloor heating downstairs gradually.

But more importantly my cosy slippers are out, and they’ll be here for the winter and honestly, I’m not sad about that - just look at those pom-poms.
