The weather turned last Thursday evening with horrific thunderstorms rolling in and although we had a bit of a lull on Saturday and I managed to get the shed roof re-felted with the help of my Hubby that is about it..there has been the odd 'bright' spell but nothing to celebrate really. Only consolation is that it's still quite warm and although we are about to enter October I still haven;t used my heating!!

The storm rolling in from the south west last Thursday evening.
As for the week long silence....a really bad cold....or flu to all my male readers...(at least I still have a sense of humour!) Work had carried on and I have kept up with all the menial chores but this is the first time I have sat down to the computer in a week...hoping the worst is over now and that a relaxing weekend will cure me completely. Will post again in a couple of days...here's hoping that some of you are having better weather than what I am!!
On an entirely different note I was wondering if anyone could name this flower...I just found the picture on my phone...to be honest I had forgotten all about it but these flowers were in some displays in the center of my town and I thought they were really pretty and wanted to grow some...but I have no idea what they are...please help!!
