Beautiful Autumn........

 
My favourite season. I like getting back into jumpers, thick socks, wrapping in scarves, heating on and comfort foods and of course all the beautiful colours of nature. So far in our garden it's mainly the pyracantha or fire thorn full of berries ready to feed the birds. We've four of them around the garden so they won't go hungry. This photo was zoomed right in because I'm not going out there while it's raining so hard and I can't see the others from the house. 


Monday we managed our on-your-own-drive coffee morning, all wrapped up warm then melting a bit each time the sun came out. 
It was the same on Tuesday when Daughter, R and the dog came over but less sun so it was only a one cuppa visit while shivering outside.
Wednesday FriendsT&F came for a garden tea/ cake/ chat and it was lovely, we last saw them early March although we do use messenger often. It wasn't warm! 
Our garden is large and open and sweeps around the house at the top of a hill, so it's always a case of deciding which way the wind is blowing and move the table and chairs to a place for shelter or shade accordingly. 
Lucky they came when they did as Thursday was raining again! 

This week our Son turned 40. Sad we couldn't celebrate it with him on the day but with most things this year it's postponed until we can. 
All grown up now but still so cute 😍 

Seems a short one but if I've nothing else to report I'll not bore you any longer! Stay safe.

I do wonder how we'll keep socialising as the weather gets colder, windier and wetter. I haven't any brilliant ideas as yet though FriendCa and I say we'll be happy to keep doing our walks unless the weather is truly awful. At least walking you are moving so less likely to get too cold. Michelle has decided I can go inside her house if the weather is too inclement as she's realised that is the best way for her to see me. She won't walk or go to a cafe so that's what will likely happen. Haven't needed to so far as been able to rearrange to times not raining and she's been away this week (so she's happy to AirBnB!). Sorry you were sad not to celebrate your baby turning 40 on the actual day. I like the photos :-). xx

If I get a brilliant idea I'll let you know!
I plan to check on those I know that live alone more if the weather is keeping them inside.
