Today it has been overcast with the odd show of the sun, but hasn't been cold ..around 23c. I was going to go for a walk around the block but got busy getting my Christmas tree down. With only one good hand it was big task.. but made it and it is all packed up until next Christmas.

So you will have to make do with a flower from my garden again. All my gladiolus were blown over by yesterdays wind so are looking a bit sorry for themselves just now! I liked this one as it was a lovely bright colour. I have white ones and purples out as well.
