I made a decision as we got to October last year, not to write off September this year. The moment September began last year I expected it to be Autumn. I went into full Autumn mode – drank a pumpkin spice latte, got my jumpers out, downloaded a box set. Only to find the weather was mild and beautiful.

So this year, I spent September looking for colour and warmth – and I was not disappointed.

My first stop was the classic English hedgerow.

And then, near the end of the month, we visited Aston Pottery – recently featured on Gardner’s World. The planting there includes Dahlias, Sunflowers and other flowers which bloom right through September. It was a spectacular display.
