Autumn

It's fled by, even though here in east angular we have had very good weather and a good long summer. It always flies past too quickly though.

Yep! Good old East Angular. We're so lucky with our warm, dry weather. This summer does seem to have flown past but we have lovely autumns - especially the week after the kids go back to school

I'm an Autumn baby and I love it but prefer Spring and it's promise of things to come. Here today it is 15 degrees,cloudy and humid.

I love the autumn but it definitely feels better if summer precedes it

I think Autumn is a melancholy season. The summer birds fly away, skeins of geese fly in across the sky, the mornings and evenings gradually become darker, and winter approaches. It is then that I long for spring. Even though I have a winter birthday, I love the summer. D15covery I did see the sunset, this photo doesn't really do it justice though.

Definitely autumnal again here in the East Midlands with a promise of a very wet weekend- off to golf again with all the wet gear safely stowed in the pockets of my bag. Is it time for the 10 tog duvet yet - hopefully not just yet.

We have been very lucky here this Summer- lots of sunshine and lamost a drought for our farmers- so I don't feel robbed as autumn approaches. Today the sun has come back and so has the warmth- and the air is as clear as a bell. Last night was quite cold though, and I put a fleece over my Hybiscus that is about to flower.

I shall go out there tomorrow to see what mushrooms I can find ;)

Anyone with connections with The Almighty to get leaves ALL down in one go so I can see my garden?!

Granjura, ah well, if you enjoy snow, then that explains your liking for Jan and Feb living where you do, although in recent years we have had a bit of snow here as well, just enough to make things miserable, not the feet thick joyous stuff!

Kazzer, know what you mean, here we get drifts of leaves to clear up, which we duly do, then more, then more etc it seems to go on for a long time, although I do tell Mr Roses it keeps him fit.

All in the mind I suppose:"Season of mists + mellow fruitfulness" + all that.

I don't like late summer, it's all prickles and nettles and dead grass, stings and bites and itchy spots. My little grandson went to pick an apple yesterday and got stung by a wasp, the garden is absolutely full of them.
Roll on autumn!
