Calendula and Crows

A grey start to the day. Mum and I, undeterred bought two Tea's to take out and went to sit in the Walled Garden. Observed a Crow making much noise seemingly talking to a wooden post. We had discussed whether it might have been a Rook!

The Colours here at Forty Hall are quite spectacular. This display of Calendula or Pot Marigold is simplicity itself.

There are many other plants that are either still in bloom or are coming on early. The weather is remarkably warm for November. This Rhododendron is still blooming.

The drizzle turned to heavier rain and by twelve we were gone.
