The Naked Ladies Return!

And just a few days later than last year (see here). They spring up overnight and always take me by surprise:-) I braved the wind and rain to go outside and take this shot before they get battered down by the gales. The leaves are blowing off the trees in what's known as a "false autumn", so hope there are plenty left to turn golden later on.

In spite of the squalls of rain, our solar panels are working away brilliantly and generating well every time the sun pops out:-) Hope there's sunshine with your showers too today!
