Those of you who were around last autumn may remember this piece of wanton destruction. I replaced the unloved weeping pear with some shrubs which I thought might cope with life in this dingy part of the front garden, and possibly even improve it in time. One was this Japanese quince, Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Moerloosei’, which has now delighted me by flowering. It’s still very small, but I’m looking forward to the day when the whole area is filled with these lovely blooms.
Thank you for all the nice things you said about yesterday’s strange sunrise – I didn’t expect it to be so well-received, so I was especially chuffed. Technophobe pointed out that what I’d thought was mist was this pollution spike, which certainly explains the peculiar quality of the light. I hope that none of you suffer too badly from the filthy air, and that you all have a good weekend.
