Never Look At The Sun, Look At The Sunflower.

"I don't think there's anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower. For me that's because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that's such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life."

Helen Mirren

September Sunflowers

"Ah! sunflower, weary of time, 

Who countest the steps of the sun,

Seeking after that sweet golden clime 

Where the traveller’s journey is done"

William Blake

There's been lots going on in the garden these last few weeks, we've been making the most of the beautiful autumn sunshine! Sunflowers are particularly precious to us right now, providing a friendly face in the garden - and also featuring in Dad's very special arrangement last week.

Hope you've been out enjoying this glorious September too!
