We may have had all manners of weather today - rain this morning, then high winds at lunchtime, then heavy rain again this afternoon and now sun - the colours of Autumn (Fall to our American friends) have started to appear..............

I walked up the driveway a bit, even though it was really soggy underfoot with all the rain, and saw the beautiful leaves on my cherry tree already starting to change their colour.............

Then I walked further up thinking about picking some apples for supper tonight, when I noticed the colour of the other apple tree...............

Amazing red colour of the leaves
The fig tree leaves are a lovely contrast

Don't they look gorgeous? Also the green fig leaves in contrast are lovely............

Of course Pippin just had to get in on the act. He's really becoming very affectionate now, and loves to follow me when I go out into the garden. He's really got a "thing" for my walking stick!!!!

Then I picked some apples - they are a really good size too. I may moan about the awful weather we've had in the UK this year, but the apples certainly have enjoyed all that water..........

So that's been my day so far. I've made a lovely chicken and vegetable stew, I've got half of my pineapple crumble to have for dessert and now I have some lovely apples to maybe make a pie or Apple sponge for tomorrow. Decisions, decisions................
