A start to autumn a first fall of leaves
Winter is seldom welcome however autumn with its beautiful paint box colouring the leaves of trees in red, golds and browns is another matter entirely. Autumn never starts on a particular day we try to box it with dates but it comes and goes to suit itself. The corn harvest in the country seems to occur with the last of summer, whilst the blackberry and apple crops seem to coincide with the first hints of autumn, for me autumn starts with the browning of leaves. I was walking my son’s dog in our Lattersey Nature Reserve and found an early first fall of brown leaves starting to cover the ground. Autumn can stay for a while but it needn’t hurry away to let winter in, not on my account anyway.

We’ve had a carpet of leaves in the back garden since the hot weather – the Eucalyptus always gets confused about which season it is anyway so the hot weather really confused it. After all that concentrated summer I’m ready for some autumn – but that’s probably my age.

In many ways, autumn is my favourite season, warm usually, colourful mostly, with a certain quiet serenity, apart that is from the odd gale or storm.
