Todays rain & swirling wind are helping the leaves to fall from the trees. We have a carpet of walnut, ash, hornbeam & hazel. The water is coursing along the paths pushing the windfalls into a decorative collage; 'Natures' submission for the 'Royal Academy'! The composters are full to the brim with leaves and apples, the start of a nutritious leaf-mould for next years roses. Tidying the garden in autumn is is calming and rewarding a wonderful year of flowering. Time to lean on the rake & plan the spring bulbs.
