What a lovely selection of all sorts. Just whats needed on a rainy day

Phew that sounds like hard work Bluey. hope you didn't plant the cyclamen too deep?

Yes Poppy, you win :)That was amazing! You really have seen them a lot, does it still retain the magic? Glorious red one.

And that little collage was really good Farway. You don't look a bit like I imagined. 

I nearly bought a gardening mug yesterday. It was shapped like a flowerpot with a teaspoon like a spade  

Been out taking photos in the rain and the humungus low cloud suddenly moved away and there was sun which was lovely.

It will be a while before I can download/upload them . Too much to do.

Here's something I took earlier

All out of reach of course

Got just enough for a small bottle of sloe gin to see in the New Year.

Your photo's clear enough to ID winter jasmine Less. Not sure what the other is, though! 

I know it as Achillea ptarmica, damp-loving cousin of Yarrow; Sneezewort seems to be the commonest common name...

Nor me... but are we sure that's the real Farway and not an AI hallucination?

Amazing aurorae, fungi (sorry, no ID as) and sloes - we had some of the latter in similar abundance, if not size, but as in previous recent years they have suddenly all gone manky, without even waiting for a decent frost...

Here are my funny fungi, and some oak leaves with residents...
