Signs of autumn

Not wishing to suggest summer is over yet, as it's high 20s outside today, & ate my lunch in the garden,  but there are autumn colours in the garden & the days are getting shorter.   I like autumn - previous post celebrated things I like about it and after such a glorious summer, I think we're in for a perfect autumn.

In the garden are hips of rosa glauca, spindle berries, beautiful crocosmia Emilya Mackenzie, some delicate pink fuschia flowers, & a spider

Things I love about autumn

Wow, it's so mild lots of the things from summer still apply. But I'll add:

• Fresh figs, chestnuts, blackberries
• A chill in the air
• Snuffling hedgehogs getting ready for hibernation
• Fieldfares, redwings & mistle thrushes arrive
• Autumn colours on the trees
• Telly gets better! This month it's new Peep Show, new Curb, Tru Blood, Generation Kill
