Well, the lovely long and luxurious summer has long since left us and autumns dresses are lying ragged in the gutter. The dark outline of trees naked of garb is becoming more and more the norm. The ground seems to be permanently damp and the nights are so long. It starts to get dark at just after 17:00 and that makes for a very long night. Ok, in December we will have the longest night and then at least the cusp will have been reached and we can start looking forward to longer days and the hope of a fresh new warmer spring. Even so, autumn and winter have their own special qualities and they have something comforting about them. This is the season of hot pots of steamy tea and hushed conversations snuggled up on the sofa while looking outside at the wonderful variety of weather. Here are a couple of pictures I took last weekend of the wonderful colours that surround our house at the moment.
