Cosmos

I AM BACK!  In case you hadn't noticed I disappeared on the 16th December!
Things became a little hectic...the family arrived from overseas and suddenly my routines just flew away into the ether.
We had a wonderful time with our family who have now returned to their respective homes . We miss them so much but think we have been extremely lucky to have spent some magical times with them. The house was very empty when they left and it took a wee while to adjust and settle down into old habits. Here's hoping!
My garden has been extraordinarily pretty this summer but is finally starting to look a little ragged. Thank goodness for beautiful clumps of Cosmos which grow very large at this time of the year and help fill the gaps with their soft, soft foliage and gracefully nodding blooms.
