15/10/2017 Although it was warm today the wind seemed to keep the bugs away!

Maximum temperature 25C,  minimum 14C.  18km/h SE wind with 34 km/h gusts. Dry.
Last night's sunset.

The hydrangeas have lost their colour but are still putting on a show.

Zinnia....

As above, looking a bit spotty but still giving some colour to the garden.

I have no idea what this is!!!! Help required!

The cotoneaster berries are great this year.

A bumblebee struggling with the wind.

I think this is a type of wasp.

Christmas cactus...

as above.

  5. The sunset is spectacular. We have no flowers left due to low temps and high wind.
