Grubbed up!

Heading back from the boulangerie yesterday, I noticed that they have grubbed up a bunch of vines – quite a lot actually. It looked so unusual seeing them all piled up, like they were preparing for bonfire night. One heck of an expensive bonfire!

The grey sky, and damp weather is feeling like Autumn is in full flow, and when I got home I felt I needed to bring some colour into the house. I scoured the garden for a few last blooms, some interesting foliage and herbs and some luscious red rose hips to punctuate the vase.

In the Salle a manger I used three beautiful late season blooms from the hydrangea, some bright yellow daisies, and some fennel that had self seeded. This one looked very carefree.
