Beautiful autumn colours :)

Oh this is beautiful Peter and the leaves will make great leafmold. Is that your house, the lower one? :-)

Hi Bornagain,

Thanks for looking at the pics. All the Maple leaves have now dropped, and I started the task of raking by hand! (See my recent blog on transplanting the Prunus for comments about leaf raking). So far I have a total of 35 80 l bags stored, but have not scratched the surface! The lower one is our studio (to be converted into a bath house later) the upper house is the main house.

Wow! they will come in handy lol, still a price worth paying:-) I have looked at some of your blogs and your profile. It takes ages to catch up on things here, but I will certainly look :-)

Bornagain, thanks for your interest. Rgds, ptarotuos

What a wonderful place it is breathtaking in its beauty. what a gem you have found. good luck and enjoy :)

Thanks Jewells. Certainly we are very lucky. A fine spot. Best, ptarotuos
