In the land of the
bourganvilla Ivy makes a nice change in the shady parts of my garden. The
varigated ivy below is cascading from a Victorian chimney pot that my brother in law found in London.

Southern Spain doesn't have that many hardwood trees so autumn colours are few and far between. But I do have a creeper that grows around the door to the garden. This year it's '
creeped' to my office and is framing my view out of the door.


I hope to see some snow on the top of the mountains within the next couple of weeks. If we have rain in the villages - they have snow on the top of the mountains. I like the look of snow, but I prefer to view it from a distance. This winter I'm planning a big photographic project at the ski resort here. I don't yet have any appropriate clothing for working on top of a mountain in the snow, advice on avoiding
hypothermia would be very welcome. I'll keep you posted.
