Autumn colour

 

We are enjoying the most glorious autumn weather and stay outside for much of the day, all too aware that a long winter lies ahead and unsure as to what new restrictions and miseries are to come.

The leaves are falling, and as the walnuts ripen they are being carried away by the squirrels

or being cheekily eaten in situ and the shell casings left strewn untidily about.

There is plenty of colour in the garden 

and food to crop.

 A squash has escaped from the compost bay

and is sitting, like Humpty Dumpty, on top of the wall.

We are waiting for the pears to be ready to pick

and the figs to fatten up and ripen.

Meanwhile its still courgettes with everything!
