Have you seen the forecast? Not good at all! I suppose it couldn't last, could it. October was such a lovely month this year!

Yes - most of the leaves on the new Ash tree, which had turned deep- red for the first time, are lying on the grass. :-(( At least I got a photo of it a few days ago!

The whole garden looks buried in leaves again. LOTS of raking to do!
