The weather is the normal kind for this time of year, grey and cold and wet, however let this not deter us from doing what has to be done, an extra layer of clothing and a nice long scarf keeps us that little bit warmer and the walking helps us to warm up to.

I have to admit to liking this time of year, I love the myriad of colours on the trees and in the fields, golds and browns and yellows and greens all intermingled and on some mornings lightly dusted with a frosty coating. This time of year also serves to remind us that winter is on its way and with it comes the season of good will Christmas.

Not that we need reminding of that as we have all seen the advent calendars that have been in the shops since the children went back to school in September :roll: And now the adverts are getting more christmasy and another week and it will be full on jungle bells, I guess though it is not as bad as the advertisng for summer holidays which starts on Christmas day and there is still a whole four months at least of cold and wet and snow to come! Trying to brainwash us into believing that blue skies and golden beaches shown on the TV will somehow wash away the winter blues, when actually all it does is make us hope that summer will be that way and that hopefully we will be able to enjoy some nice days sat in the garden with friends.

Still there is a lot to be said for the Autumn, the weather might be dreary but it makes you appreciate the warmth when you get home, and it is a beautiful time of year, if you take the time to look ;)

Good morning all, have a great day.
