November rush

November, where did you go?!

The frosts are heavy now. Our resident squirrel bounds quickly across the lawn, barely letting his little feet make contact with the frozen ground. I don't blame him.

Even as the daylight fades (at around 4 in the afternoon!) there are still patches of frost which failed to thaw during the day. 

It is pretty though!

Fairy foot prints

November, autumn is surrendering to winter. The frosts have started, the leaves are in full colour, and Guy Fawkes Night is approaching. Autumn has been so full of treats though: warm days, golden colours, and new perspectives.

Before experiencing autumn in England I had only ever seen cyclamen in pots at florists and supermarkets, very uninspiring. Very Great Aunt Mabel. Here they carpet the undergrowth, unfazed by deep shade and cold nights. They contrast so brilliantly against their surroundings, like fairy foot prints in the lawn.
