The spell of hot weather has broken and before we were plunged back into the depths of winter, whilst I was still feeling glad of a drop of rain again, I took this photo.
Last year's red cabbage is now bolting* and putting up flower stalks. The flower buds of this one caught a raindrop that glistened like a jewel in the morning light.
Of course, yesterday's snow and gales knocked that plant flat.

* That is, the cabbages that didn't form heads are bolting, plus one that did, was cut and put out several new shoots around the cut stalk. This is the one I want to collect seeds from - what a cabbage!
