Signs of autumn

We haven't started hibernating yet so I thought I'd share a few seasonal photos with you.

Big Dave's grapes are magnificent - ours weren't happy at all -

but we've had a good crop of pumpkins and butternut squash.

There are lots of wild mushrooms in the woods at the moment. I still don't trust myself to know what's what.

An early arrival of holly berries - don't they say it's a sign of a hard winter to come?!

You can just make out the bird on the feed: good viewing from the conservatory

What about this splash of colour metres from our house?

There are still many fields of maize/corn ready to be harvested...

...but this farmer's livestock won't go hungry!

Meanwhile we'll keep nice and snug this winter with the annual delivery of logs. Hope we've ordered enough.
