Greys, whites and blues, a cool breeze on the hill but calm and peaceful in amongst the trees. The grass has been baled, collected in and is probably wrapped in black plastic by now, the straw is nearly done and the familiar bale-statues are appearing all over the countryside.......

.......the air is so thick with `autumny` smells the dogs don`t know where to bury their noses first,the swallows and martins are beginning to pack their bags and in the distance this morning the first gaggle of noisy geese heading out: perhaps they`ve heard about the forecast October snows......

.....and if that makes you think of Christmas herewith an early plug for the new cards from Merry Illuminations (link on the right)....and I get no commission.......
