Early Morning Allestree Lake
The early morning sun cut through what was only a token mist, the low sun seeking out the shadows and shining light into places that have not enjoyed the suns warmth since early spring. Indeed it has also been another Bonus Autumn day and with so many days like this this the occasional wet and windy day is soon forgotten. In fact, if anything many of the leaves seem to have gained a little benefit from the rains still crisp green contrasting with the more typical autumnal browns and oranges.
Even the view from the bedroom window as we opened the curtains to welcome the day was so encouraging…for the end of October it really is a Bonus whilst delaying the inevitable start to winter….

Marvellous! I had a bonus day yesterday, wandering around Sheffield Park. OK, it wasn’t bright sunshine, but the colours were stunning!

It is grey here today but just so long as the wet stuff and wind stays away awhile longer I will not be complaining…..make the most of the ‘good days’ enjoy

The grey stuff has disappeared over here and YES! We have a whole week of great weather when the forecast is right. Quite a few trees have already lost almost all their leaves. I think the poplars. But the rest is showing off all their beautiful golden, copper and bright red colours before turning brown and crackle under our feet. Fun thing is to see small children kicking up the fallen leaves or make a leave shower. Parents are very busy with their cameras… 🙂

We have a forecast which is a bit of a mixed bag. If the low pressure moves as they suggest I think that if we do get some rain it will be overnight. The quantity of sunshine is debatable
