Summer's Lease

Posted on the 19 August 2013 by Elizabethwix

Ah, the bitter-sweet summer days after Lammastide...

Well, there are plums to be had...

and sunflowers and peegee hydrangeas.

I couldn't buy this bunch yet - much too autumnal.

So I bought a bunch of half dead garden roses

and took gloomy photos of them.

On a cheerier note, I've just finished Jane Gardam's "Old Filth" Trilogy. My best reading experience in ages and ages. Such a breadth of vision and attention to detail. Wonderful wonderful stuff about passion and repression and love.
