20th November

I've been busy with the camera again, just catching a few images of late November. From the top we have the rose I bought in memory of my Dad. Just a week later it is laden and heavy with snow. When the snow melts all I will have is soggy little brown petals left but you can see how spectacular they have been till now; this is their second flowering and they only got planted earlier this year.
Next is the purple of the artichokes and ornamental cabbage that Luke raised from seed then a photo of the nod towards winter with a hard frost, captured here on the chicken run.
More shades of aubergine with the Mahonia and olives (this little standard olive was bought for Luke from my Mum and stepdad, fifteen quid from Morrisons this year but look at it now, already bearing fruit.
Out in the back garden are my white roses, just coming into bud again. If you check a week later they are hidden by a centimetre of snow.
