BACK TO SCHOOL AGAIN!
I've on numerous occassions mentioned the crossover of seasons in the garden. I still have quite a few Summer flowers in my garden and only the other day posted a photo of an Azalea in bloom at Wisley. Well, even more astounding than that, as we walked through Wisley's rockery and pond area..........
what did we spy but this......YES a SNOWDROP in bloom in October!!!!
Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trinity of Rooms Of My Heart has passed this lovely Friendship Badge on to all of her Blogfriends......
In turn I'd like to pass it on to all my regular blog pals......Yes that's YOU!
I've also had this Halloween Treat passed to me from Anne M of Under The Sea.
The award originated at Hootin' Annie's, and the idea of these awards is to pass them on to new, random visitors to your blog. As I don't do specific tagging on this blog...but if your a newbie blogpal then this one's for you. Of course if regulars would like to pass it on to their random visitors please do.
I'm back to college today....how quickly the half term went. I managed to get the rest of my assignments finished yesterday thank goodness! We will now be moving from the Key Concepts stage to Childhood.....looking at the subject from a sociological and historical viewpoint plus how childhood has been portrayed through the eyes of various authors in literature.

Isn't this statue of a Bear catching a fish delightful....too big for my garden though!
as did the Butterfly Lover's Pavilion.....
with it's beautiful Butterfly carvings..............
This brings me on nicely to the Bonsai Garden........
That's all from Wisley for today.........Yes I know we went that way next Lynn...I'll show my blogpals that tomorrow!!!!
For now I must show you how my carpet laying went yeterday........this was the tatty old oil stained carpet......
Manda and co had cleared all the furniture etc out for me.....
And I'm pleased to report that Manda and I managed to do a fair amatuer job of laying the carpet......I still need to get some thresholds
but I reckon it looks pretty good! It smells good too as my Brugmansia which I brought indoors has finally flowered!!!!!
