Frost!

When putting out the washing I thought it was a bit cold didn't  pay much attention till I had to go to the  other washing line and walked across the lawn , we had a hard frost, plus I was in my nightdress!

Parakeets and The Owl.

A lovely  crisp sunny cold day, a flock of at least 20 parakeets flew pass going home to roost.making a noise as they passed soon be home they seem to say..
In the distant the owl is hooting .

Waterproof or Lighter? That's the Question.

Glorious autumnal weather such a mixture rain wind sun drizzle, cold warm. What coat do I put on the lighter weight one or the waterproof one, hat or no hat? Put on the waterproof one on and get to hot put the lighter weight one on and get soaked! Can't win, then there is the hats I won't even go there!
The leaves are slowly going from the trees and where they were crispy and crunchy to walk in they are now wet and slippery so have to take care when walking out.
The beech trees have finally dropped their nuts and it's quite painful to walk over them, the sweet chestnut tree has now gone to sleep.
The back garden is one a mess due to leaves wind and me not being able to get out there to do a tidy up, but hopefully this weekend I can , it can rain I don't mind, then it will be waterproof coat lighter one , hat or no hat?!

Rainbow.

Just saw a most beautiful rainbow I could almost touch it well I think I could that was how low it was. All the colours of the rainbow I could see most clearly, these are the times I wished that I had a camera of some sort in my hand . So beautiful it was

Difference In A Year.

What a difference a year makes this time last year the fields where submerged and river were running here there and everywhere,nothing but rain and more rain nothing but grey skies, this year? Really mild a mixture of sunshine and rain at the moment sunshine, the trees still with their leaves on , their colours brighting up they grey,blue sky.

Lovely Autumn &Rainy Days

After a long hot summer, a mixture of lovely autumn days and grey rainy days. Loads of red berries everywhere lovely to see. The leaves are still clinging onto the branches.
The Virginia Creeper which I planted ages ago gave a wonderful show so beautiful the colours well were fantastic.
The garden is now beginning to go to sleep for the winter. The nettles that gave the butterflies so much pleasure are still going strong and they are staying , going to make a wildlife garden around them as they are going to be the main feature.
