Autumn garden 29 September 2015

 Still some colour in it


 The Dahlia jungle white Japanese anenomes in the background
 Some of these are huge
Sun leaching out the colour but the yellow ones are lovely The white flowers are Japanes anenomes.
Still going Surfina Petunias
 On the patio  in the square of fence, house and conservatory so quite protected.
 Looking towards the house and patio

 These flowered very late, only ones to come up from a whole packet.
 Dahlias going over a bit now
 This Dahlia was grown from seed unlike the others saved from last year, This one is actually very pale pink.
 Black tomatoes, only ripe on one side so far, they do eventually have a red tinge to the black
We have two of these large tree fuchsia in tubs either end of the front of the conservatory.

Not sure why these came up out of order on here to how they were taken.

 Austin A35, I had one just like this in 1961 can't believe how small it is inside and how thin the gear stick is.
 Preparing for the musical horses
This young lady was very agile and wore no protective gear.

 Horse and rider had absolute trust of each other
 Horse mirrored her footsteps, very clever.
 And he jumped through the hoop (or stepped).
 More dancing feet

 Following her with her walking backwards
riding two horses


Different girl who rode to children's orders (i.e. backwards, sideways)
