Well I've done it again folks!
Why didnt anyone tell there was a heatwave arriving?
Just look at that blue sky.
I've needed a new intermediate coat
to wear for Autumn.
Something that keeps me warm but not sweaty
well it's definitely warm,
and if I keep it on any longer it may well
get a little sweaty today!!
I love the early morning light,
especially on these white swan
echinacea.
(grown by me)
I'm making good use of this lovely weather.
Isn't it uplifting?
I will not lie,
the ever growing garden can be a real challenge!
I thought I'd show you some out-takes,
and why I generally crop out my head.
Check out my hiking boots!!
Reacting to a camera on a gorilla pod is not a thrill.
and generally the first photo is the best.
Scowls aside..
look at the vintage sheet I picked up.
Donating books to declutter can be dangerous for ones house!
It's an addiction..a bit like buying plants when you already have too many..
Loving the elbow patch detail!
I shall not be hoping for cooler weather
just so I can wear my new coat*
Because I have still lots of pottering to do..
..and it keeps the spiders from envading our house!
( spider count last week 5 )

Your late burst of summer coincides with our late burst of winter! Great coat!
Great coat Clare - but even so don't wish away this Indian Summer - I am glad as I have to go watch a hockey match this afternoon! Will be taking my crochet with me!
It's even hot and sunny up here in Ayrshire - yippee.
I love jacket weather! Every year I say I'm going to buy a cute jacket for fall, but end up living in my fleece Columbia zip-up jacket.
Great coat! Love the belt with it! The white echinacea are so dainty. The petals look like twirling skirts! I used to buy lots of plants, but I ran out of room for planting. Same with fabric, but I haven't run out of room...yet ;)
Lovely new coat, suits you really well. Isn't this sunshine a great bonus. Looks like you are very busy in the garden, again!

Hi, Fab sheet and great coat! But I hope you're complaining about our lovely weather - it'll be grey and raining soon enough!
Lovely photos of you Clare - I still think you have what it takes to be a model! The flowers are stunning - I do love white blooms. x
What a pretty coat, we are looking for shorts and tea shirts.
Fab coat - it really suits you. It would look even nicer combined with a smile? I always wish someone would chop my head off photos too!
I like your coat it is very nice ! Tailored too..
I have just bought a warm coat too - why on earth did I do that? And it's supposed to be snowing next month - what on earth is happening to the weather? Your echinacea look lovely - mine seem to have given up the ghost.

Gosh, it's beautiful!
Those echinacea are absolutely gorgeous; one of my favourite flowers, I say!
Looking into my crystal ball I predict you shall be getting a lot of wonderful wear from your new coat!
ps Spiders? Shudder! We too have had a bucketful. The other night I saw one so huge it reminded me of a hovercraft because its body so so HIGH off its enormously long legs.
We are having temperatures above 30°C but I prefer to sleep with the window shut at night than risk waking up to the sight of a spider dangling over my head!
