Seeds and Sunset

Only one sunflower head is left at school-the others were pulled up early in September when over zealous weeding took place. S. and L. pointed out that the seeds were falling out of it, so we planted some around the garden. I love sunflowers and they seem to grow quite well in the nursery garden-it is open and so does get a lot of sun. We have been planting daffodil bulbs this week, and later will plant some more in wellies hung from the fence. Then it will be tulips in November. I like bulbs-they are pretty easy and mainly reliable.

There was a beautiful sunset last night at about six when I was on the way home. I only managed this one photo when at the traffic lights.

I have enjoyed watching the Chilean miners being brought up from the ground today-really moving.

Here is a link to the Johnny Depp visit to a London primary school the other day-not mine Lynne! He visited in response to a letter from a pupil about how she needed his help to rebel against her teachers! His visit was only announced to the school ten minutes before. Imagine the excitement! He turned up in full Jack Sparrow dress, and role. One of the most fun days I ever had as a teacher was a few years ago when I was in role as a pirate all day! I was Captain Wallis, as Miss Wallis had been called away.
