After our mini wet spell it has been nice to enjoy some late summer sunshine…I say late summer as whilst those hints of autumn colour still tease us the trees are still mostly in green leaf.
That leaf cover is still so dense that the morning sun struggles to reach the woodland floor, just splashes of warm light whilst the sun is still low in the sky.
It is Chestnut Trees (both the Horse and Sweet) that have dropped their leaves…perhaps they have been suffering from a leaf disease that has been effecting some Chestnuts. A grub eats the leaves from within, they dry and drop….of course once on the floor the dry leaves do give you that autumnal feeling.

Very inviting… from the inside. It’s blowing pretty hard here. But it makes everthing look so much nicer.
