Autumn Colour

Plunging icy hands into grainy pocket recesses, I have to acknowledge that season change is now in full swing. Sedum heads ripen and optically mix with the blackcurrant pittosporum, Tom Thumb, succulent colour tantalises my taste buds.

 

 

The flaming Acer gives a hint of the cosy autumn evenings ahead.

 

Berries abound in the hedgerows; the prospect of gathering nature's bounty for pickles and jellies excites.  This is nature's golden moment, a time to celebrate the rich flavours and intense colours, time to join the birds and woodland creatures as they gather their winter stores.
