It really has been a lovely summer & such a very mild autumn, up to the last few days I could count more than 12 different flowers in my garden & the grass was still growing, think this bit of frost will have stopped it, but we usually have a very sharp frost the 1st week in October which finishes the flowers off. I am going to spend Christmas with Alex & family, his son is just back from the Falklands, he's in the army, he looks very well came over to see me last Saturday. Hope you are keeping well, do try to keep warm I find it a very hard thing to do. All good wishes & my love to you Violet.
