            There's been that "Autumn feel" in the air for a couple of weeks now.

            When I was a nipper, I used to know it was here when, on the way to school (on foot, I might add) I could see the spiders webs covered in dew. Beautiful sight though all the same.

                Ah yes Scarey- dew covered cobwebs;conkers;cough sweets and cold mornings on the way to school wrapped up in a duffle coat- but having to carry it home at 4pm cos it was too hot to wear it .
                Golden and red leaves;the smell of damp vegetation;acorns and yellow smog...such memories eh??

                      Floomin chilly and cloudy here today too, although we've had 4/5 gorgeous days up to now. Definately time to fish out the woolly jumpers now, though I don't mind autumn really, it's usually sunnier than summer! And there's all the apples coming ready, trees changing colour, first log fires of the season, Christmas to start thinking about...

                        Thanks for cheering me up Nicos!
                        No, I actually do quite like Autumn but I just wish we'd had a summer before it this year! The last few days have been lovely & sunny though but it's been a bit more 'autumnal' today.

                            First day of Autumn? Odd, yesterday was the first (and only) day of Summer round these parts
                            Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

                              no idea on the exact time, just the day, cos each solstice/equinox is a 3 day festival for us, day before, at dawn until day after at sunset.
                              so the incinerator ( no bonfire housing rule) will be primed, and the corn on the cob, baked pots, marshmallows and sausages will be ready in a few hours for a mini celebration .
