Changing seasons



Nights of late have been cold. You’ve felt the reduction in temperature by 4pm. As a result the lawns have been covered with water droplets in the morning & remained damp all morning.

The autumn is definitely descending upon us. Leaves are turning golden or red. The first bare trees are emerging.

Another sign of the time of year is the regular appearance of Robin. He struts around the edges of the raised horseshoe of garden, before darting off to rummage on the damp lawns for worms. Indeed all the birds seem to be busy, trying to put on weight to keep them going through the long winter months.

Next weekend the clocks change. We will once more be cooking & dining in an illuminated room. It’s time for curtains to be drawn, as though wrapping them around the house to keep it warm. It’s definitely time to appreciate the joy of central heating & to snuggle down in the eiderdown of our home.
