What If Something New Is Coming?
October has arrived while the weather still seems slightly undecided about the whole thing. There is warmth hanging around, but the clues are everywhere now: darker evenings, leaves beginning to turn, that particular smell in the air and the first quiet instinct to prepare ourselves for the colder months ahead.
Garden Notes: August
August in the English garden is a time of pause and plenty. The air feels full—rich with the hum of bees, the scent of lavender warming in the sun, and the rustle of leaves as the breeze shifts gently through them. The days stretch out with generous light, inviting us to linger outdoors longer, to take slow breaths and notice how alive everything is.
