Thanks to geotagging I know exactly where I was on the M25 when I took this. Happily I’ve always been able to read, or do something other than just stare out of the window as a passenger in the car and autumn beginning seemed a […]
The asters are lasting well as cut flowers, which makes them good photography models – and better than the dahlias and calendulas, which are starting to fade in the vase. Through the year the multi-tasking allotment provides food, flowers and photos, which become stock images […]
