Yesterday I had a breakfast scrub.......
I visited a charity shop and bought some books ready for our Autumn break.
I had my husbands Grandfather's painting framed. It is 102 years old and has great sentimental value.
I looked at Autumn colours..........
and bought a new scarf :)
Yesterday my little old dog and I had a four mile walk. She came home to a bone.
I picked apples and baked them in the oven.
I love Autumn................
Today I thought of summer plantings........
I watched a robin take a bath.
I visited an elderly couple in the next village and bought some organic produce.
I studied the flowers..........
and smelt their sweet perfume.
Abelia Grandiflora was my Mothers favourite shrub.
Today I missed her voice...........
Cyclamen Hederifolium pushes up its pale pink flowers as a reminder of the changing seasons.
Delicate upturned flowers among a carpet of woodland debris.
They flower for several weeks and are a refreshing change from the perennial border.
An exquisite plant that never ceases to make me smile.
I always forget they are quietly waiting. Waiting for the right moment. That magical time when summer is giving way to Autumn.
Have a lovely weekend........
The school summer break is over.
Time to think about unfinished books.
September my favourite month. Summer pleasures slowly fading.
Golden days.
Subtle alterations and
misty mornings.
Autumn never lets me down,
it is always beautiful,
gentle, slow,
and calm, perhaps with a wild wind here and there.
Magical, melancholy days.............
