Atmospheric

15 November 2024


The low cloud and mist have woven through the deciduous trees giving us a long, atmospheric autumn that has been quite lovely to walk through. Beech, birch and even sycamore contribute shades of gold. My ‘rake-athon’ continues, sweeping leaves from the drive onto the shrub

borders.


The garden is full of bird movement and calls. Goldfinches are enjoying the big stand of teasel. 


A straggling skein of migratory pink-footed geese in characteristic V- formation overhead. 


Fieldfares, redwings and blackbirds queue on the empty quince to take rich, red crab apples.


A scratching mouse woke us at five this morning, busy in the roof void.
