Clematis

I decided after dinner that I would head over to the allotment.  I got there just after eight, just in time for the dark.  It's probably also too early to sow any seeds, although as at this time every year, the thumbs start to get itchy.   

Usual Saturday stuff besides, including a bit of time in town in unexpectedly sunny weather.

This flower:  the very first one open on one of a very small number of inherited plants that we like.  

In bird news: we startled a big boisterous bunch of waxwings in the neighbour's bush on the way home yesterday.  We still have just the sparrows and pigeons.
