autumn leaves

No - no Millais in sight.  A beautiful morning: slightly chill; thin sunshine. I went out into the garden to make a little vase of flowers and leaves for my mother’s bedside: after all those years of coming back to Wimbledon to be greeted with a posy from the garden for my room, the role has been reversed.  There wasn’t a lot out there – a rose, a geranium stem, a fuschia sprig, some rosemary – but it was pretty.
