Autumn!

Sue has started to lift Pelargoniums before any frost arrives with a view to keeping them over winter.
But she perhaps didn't start early enough ... we had our first frost this morning.

The temperature was 2 degrees next to the house so it was maybe 0°C in the middle of the back garden.  The long bed was protected by the trees but the flowers in the Christo bed were touched.

It looks like we are going to have a few days of morning frosts (it's forecast for 2 degrees on Monday and we usually get a couple of degrees lower than that) but we don't mind as we then have lovely bright, clear. sunny days!
