Ginkgo palace

These leaves always end up in my garden, though the tree they are from is 200 metres away on the other side of a large building and many very tall trees. They're such bonny leaves that they're welcome though.

A busy garden day - clearing space for a whole load of planting to come. Part of the job was tearing out lots of unruly ivy; which I promptly felt terrible about and started transplanting it wherever I could make space. I'm too soft-hearted to be a real gardener.

I have now emerged from my it's-all-been-too-sociable-for-me-lately purdah and recharged my introvert batteries with some me-time. Backblips will follow!
