Summer has packed its bags and headed south for the winter this week. The mornings are now crisp, I’ve had to dig out my scarf and medium-weight long coat (it’s not cold enough for the heavy duty pink ‘fur’ one yet) (yes that says pink fur – it cheers me up no end on a miserable grey freezing day!), and the streets are littered with the fallen crumpled leaves from the trees above. The squirrels are back raiding my bird feeders for their winter stocks, and we’ve had to put the heating on in the mornings. Autumn is definitely here.
