Monday vase for 19 November

As you read this I am en route to Australia!  I just had time to press 'publish' on this post before leaving for the airport at some ungodly hour this morning!  My vase today is just about the last of everything in the garden.  The geraniums are hanging on but the next hard frost will snaffle them, the rowan tree has shed all its leaves and left a lovely colourful pile on the grass below, there is one very dark Munstead Wood rose left, so dark it is almost black, and an equally intense petunia.  I found one or two other bits and pieces to pop into this vase, which was made by Devon potter, Colin Kellam.
Who knows what I might find to put in next Monday's vase!  Whatever it is, it will be a long way away from this week's offering.

    Oh I love Munstead Wood, one of my favourite roses - look at all those lovely ruffled petals! And complemented too by your other remaining bits and pieces - I guess there will be less of those when you come back :( Happy Travelling! Thanks for sharing

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
