Autumn - Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness

Red leaves from neighbours large tree. spread over my small back garden

Knitting woollies for the grandchildren.

Homemade soup and crusty bread

In the kitchen all morning making deliciouly spicy chutney

Dark mornings

My cashmere ponchos

School uniforms suddenly too small after long summer hol.

Blue skies and sunshine with a brisk wind, so uplifting when out for a walk.

Winter duvet, comfy boots - though not at the same time

Sitting on the sofa in front of the fire with a cosy throw over my legs

Pumpkin soup

Me too! Roll on next summer!

The aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg, curling into the air as they mull in warm red wine

Spider's webs slung across every footpath to catch me unawares as I walk along, ugh!

Power cuts!

Cooler nights make sleeping better zzzzzzz

Making eight pots of bramble jelly

Crisp frosty mornings to walk the dog

Conker collecting ( spiders hate conkers!)

Acorns dropping off my neighbour's tree

Mice seeking warmer habitats (not here thankfully)

Toffee apples looking for them arriving at Sainsbury’s. I buy one, halve it with DH and put hot custard on it, delicious ?

Rowan trees in my garden, laden with bright red berries.

Kate, my daughter brought me one the other day from Morrisons. It was delicious!

The raucous cawing or rooks in black-limbed skeletal trees

Nothing mellow outside today. The wind is howling and I can hear the sea roaring. Plus the rain is tamping down.
