Dang, I missed October!

Well, we were a bit busy. Couple of weeks of sorting out the shed, the utility room and the kitchen. House to be re-wired, old kitchen units into utility room, brand new kitchen. What an upheaval. And the packing for the hols so we were out of the way. Came back day before my brithday - all done, but then had to move stuff the other way and clean up the plaster dust from the new ceiling which got everywhere in the house. There is still major painting to be done, which will start 1st December. Also, on the 7th, new grand-daughter, Emily. So the garden has taken a back seat. Increidbly warm here yesterday, evidently wartmest Hallowee'en since records began. Promised to be very cool next weekend. Planted some tulips in tubs, but not enough energy to sweep up the leaves.
