Autumn has well and truly arrived.

We’ve had some surprisingly nice autumn weather recently, but it’s definitely not summer anymore. The air is crisp and cold, the sun is pretty, but not very effective – providing psychological warmth, rather than actual heat. And there are more and more rainy days. Last night, I could see my breath in the air, walking back from dinner.

But on sunny days, the park is beautiful – there’s still some green to be seen, but the leaves are turning brown and falling, carpeting the banks of the lake with glorious autumn colours.

And a reminder that winter is coming: holly is already showing its bright red berries.
