It was beautiful here today, in advance of the arrival of the tail-end of tropical storm Henri. Mrs O and I went for a stroll in the nature reserve and saw tortoiseshell and speckled wood butterflies , and even a late season dragonfly. The sun was warm on our backs. Then we went down the the local Birmingham City Council nurseries and picked up some surplus winter-flowering pansies from there, two big mixed-colour displays for £9.

But the wind has now got up, and it's very much clouded over, and Henri is supposed to bring us torrential rain early this evening.

Hope you guys heading for "warmer climes" have a great holiday! :D

We had a fair amount of rain, not enough though :cry: and the wind is now dropping a little, so all being well, we'll be back to normal tomorrow 8-)

There was a thick autumnal mist this morning, early on :shock: :roll: :lol: Luckily that lifted, but we've had sunshine and showers. Dry enough to walk home from town though, so at least I got some exercise ;) :roll:

Glad you're back to sunshine though :)
