Sullen Sunday

Rather sullen and grey today - bits of sun that didn't last and when it was around I'd got caught clearing up the front and couldn't take advantage.  Just as I'd started cutting stuff back 2 of my neighbours popped out to 'help' and take over.  Well, it was helpful, but I hadn't meant to do nearly as much so I kind of missed my walk.

Anyway, here is a shot from the field up the road.  Most of the teasels have finished flowering, but I caught a latecomer still with some shreds of lilac.  And most of the knapweed's been replaced by thistles.  Still, summer is forecast to return fully by Tuesday, so perhaps my camera and I will go off on another adventure.

Closing ceremony tonight.  The Olympics seems to have been going on forever and at the same time I can't believe we've got to the end.  But we do have the Paralympics.  And well done Manchester for getting the celebration.

Happy Sunday evening  xx
