There has been a behind scenes whoopsie with this thread, but google cache to the rescue.  The last few posts aren't saved though. We can carry on from here I guess and maybe the images could be gathered together in a photobucket album(?) in case google eventually deletes the cache. Page 1Page 2Page 3Page 4

Thank you 4wd. I don't think I'm going to risk trying to post the pic I was attempting to when I managed to delete everything.

Typical Octobery morning with fog banks wafting over the moors.  They soon go though once the sun is up.  |

Our autumn crocuses are doing well this year. There have been a few there for approaching 20 years, but until about 6 years ago there was a large weeping willow overhanging the lawn there, and bulbs only just about held their own. Since the tree died and the main roots were removed, bulbs have done a lot better - both spring crocus and autumn ones. These are true crocuses BTW, not colchicums, which we do have elsewhere but are past their best this autumn.  I find hardy cyclamen difficult things to do justice to in a photograph - but they're looking very attractive as they usually do at this time of year.  There are 16 sheep in that field - but not in sight! The copper beech to the centre left is just beginning to turn colour, but the Pin Oak (Quercus Palustris) in the background is still fully green: it normally colours very well: next week maybe.  And you can't get away without one of these!  |

I always forget to look for our lone clump -must check! They've been there many years and the leaves looked healthy in early summer. I'd never seen them until during a short but sweet 5 days in France - 1997 - a lot of their old orchards were full of them in late September. |

It was getting a bit dark for good photographs this afternoon, but I was pleased with this one of a Robin's Pincushion.  ...and I also managed a closeup of a cyclamen which I'm happy with. White ones need more fiddling about because they fool the camera's automatic exposure system and the petals get over-exposed.  These are house window frames numbers 30 and 31, which I've bored everyone with elsewhere, but the point is that they really really are finished now except for doing the leaded lights and installing them.  That doesn't give much idea of what they're like once installed, but this one of window 26 gives a better idea. The apparent curvature is a feature (fault) of the camera.  This one of window 25 avoids the curved distortion (and shows piles of House Martin poo on the sill) but I can't avoid the shadow at the top from the overhanging eaves and gutter.  Windows 27 to 29 inclusive are almost identical to 25, and need leaded light panels made up, as do 30 and 31, though it's "only" 496 small panes to be assembled with leading now. |

Damson has big paws. She'll make a biggish dog.
........ and those leaded lights + oak frames. Wow.

Damson has the right name - look at that sheen on her. She's beautiful and as for the windows - ditto Matt's WOW! Just as well you can make and install them yourself, the labour alone would cost a fortune! Who cleans them? I am never bored with your 'construction' posts - just a bit jealous sometimes  |

I checked the autumn crocus here but they have collapsed - I wonder if they aren't able to stand our 2 or 3 frosts?
Anyway really should try to split the clump into a less shady spot too.
