September Sunday

When Big Sis was younger she was in a band. They wrote their own songs and the hot favourite was a gorgeous poppy tune called 'September Sunday'. They did well but life being such as it is they are now spread across the country pursuing their dreams. So to all four of you I dedicate my September mood board!


There's really nothing new to see. Only the golden heuchera and cyclamen (which to be honest were a recent purchase from the local supermarket). Looking back on my old boards though it confirms the cyclical nature of the seasons. The berries are prolific this year in time for the birds to fill up for the long cold winter ahead. They will remain part of our landscape now during the months where the rest of the flowers are taking a rest.


The few flowers I have left have got a richness to their colour - small but jewel like.



A closer look.


The bright leaves of the heuchera stand out as the rest of the foliage is fading.


And this is my very last dog rose  - having provided me with one of my favourite scents throughout the summer.


So there it is. Not many more flowers to come. I'm looking forward to the changing colours of the leaves now. The weather around here has been glorious and the towpath is busy with cyclists, walkers and barges. I'll leave you with some posies and the happy words of those girls

'It's September
It's meant to be grey
It's meant to be raining
But the sun is shining
How I'll remember September Sunday!'


P.S. For Charlotte, Jasmine, Zoe and Amber
