We visited the Botanical Gardens in Paris, The three tiered platforms are a sight to behold themselves, looking like a rock face and blended in with plants climbing on its surface.

We had a light dusting of snow yesterday, Knickers spent the morning exploring this strange new world (although he has seen snow before). I'm not sure what his expression says... but he is giving me a very strange look!

Its beginning to feel a bit like Christmas, or so the song goes, we have got quite a bit of our Garden preparations done ahead of winter taking hold, plants are safely tucked away into greenhouses, and the large shed. Last weekend we had a couple of nights with temperatures hitting -3C so the tender annuals on the whole have now given up. Not all though as a selection of pelargoniums in pots by the front of the house are still alive and kicking, but the annual display of succulents have given up the ghost, as has the tall and imposing ricinus above. So attention can start to turn to indoors and Christmas, we have been looking at a selection of Christmas gifts and started to pick a few things out as suggestions. We normally get a few small garden related presents, recent years have included wind up torches (for going to check on the greenhouse heaters after dark) and mugs with caps to keep the tea nice and hot. Will have to suggest a few things to family for them to pick up on this year.

In September we were visited by Loree from the lovely Danger Garden blog. Last week she featured our garden on her blog and along with a fantastic write up she posted a number of beautifully composed photographs. The above image is probably my favourite and captures the essence of our jungle garden brilliantly. I have taken photos from similar angles in the past but somehow this one just captures everything.
