Range of heritage pumpkins on stall and bowl of pumpkin soup with sourdough bread!

It’s pumpkin season and I just love autumnal food like this pumpkin soup made from a flavoursome crown pumpkin. I’ve topped it with small chunks of pumpkin and roasted pumpkin seeds, serve with sourdough. #pumpkinsoup #pumpkinseason #heritagepumpkin #autumnalfood #soups #slowlife #veganfood #slowi

Spotted this Red Admiral several times in the same position on a wall. What’s wrong with the many plants in my garden I kept thinking. #redadmiral #butterfly #insectThursday #insect #gardenfriends #slowi

I came across three Sweet Chestnut trees (Castanea sativa) in Doddington Hall, Lincs. The largest is 450 years old, with a trunk girth over 30 feet, making it one of the largest trees in the British Isles. #ancienttrees #slowi #plants #sweetchestnut #tree #nature #naturephotography #naturalwondor

A blue African Lilly flower against greenery and a cloudy sky in Johannesburg garden.

Single blue African Lilly against a white plaster wall in a Johannesburg garden.

The African lily (Agapanthus) is a perennial plant native to South Africa. I took a photo of a lilly in a friend’s garden in Joburg, then I saw a striking single flower against a nearby wall. #flowersonFriday #flower #flowers #africanlilly #plants #flowerphotography #nature #flowerpower #slowi
