THE AUTUMN COLOURS.

The autumn is great when the sun shines and the cool breeze brings the smell of burning fires from gardens being tidied for the coming winter. This is what I miss most - the chain of changing seasons when I am living somewhere in the tropics of Africa or Asia. It's much easier to adjust to the culture or cuisine then to the climate I think.

BOYS WITH THEIR TOYS...

I'VE BEEN FRAMED!!!!

THE BAD WEATHER READING....

For the past nearly three weeks the world became grey and cold, grey and wet, grey and miserable... All one can do is sit in front of the fire and read. It sounds nice and romantic - but how long for?! So I cleaned the house, made a dozen jars of green tomato and apple chutney and started embroidery... In the meantime my dogs are going spare! They want to go for their walkies albeit curtailed to a bare minimum... And when they go they come back all muddy and wet. Terrible! The Autumn is quite young - more jolities yet to come no doubt.-

THE FIRST FIRE OF THE SEASON.

NEW CRITTERS ON THE BLOCK...

Can you guess who visited my land?...

GONE TO MARS...
