You only really get to know somewhere when you live there. That’s when you see what you don’t see by walking around it.

This Virginia Creeper has quietly done its creepy stuff around the flat in the ten years since we came here and I was sitting on the chair, looking around me. I noticed that it’s meandering along the guttering above the window and was looking stunning in the evening sunshine. You know this is only going to get more beautiful over the next few weeks before it goes to sleep for the winter. Then? Well then it’ll start the process again. I love the cycles of nature.
