September is throwing out some stunning days, crisp, windy and very hot if you are in the sun. These intensely coloured and rampant climbers outside the back door are an out-and-out fairytale trope : skin as white as blossom, lips as red as berries, eyes as blue as the sky... and no photoshop! The red berries are honeysuckle and the white climber is called something like 'racing demon'. At the moment they appear to co-exist beautifully, you wouldn't think there was an intense struggle for domination going on.
