Beautiful blue sky this morning at London Rd Station, and thankfully we did a bit of work late morning rather than our usual afternoon slot. We planted ‘Minnow’ daffodils in Madeleine’s mini-garden planter. We also cleared the rampant squash in one of the tree pits and planted cyclamen and daffodils (‘tête à tête’), and also cleared up Madeleine’s tree pit.

The big job was clearing the sycamore leaves from the station forecourt – four big bags’ worth. I’m not keen on storing these leaves for leaf mould; they seem to be a bit diseased. But the forecourt looks so much better – of course, more leaves will be down soon.

Indeed, by the beginning of the afternoon, the deluge showers had started … Tuesday afternoon … and haven’t finished. The silver lining? I’d forgotten to water in the cyclamen. All done now, … but along with a further drop of sycamore leaves.
