Autumn is upon us

Extra warm and sunny but that`s Autumn alright!
 With first colds ( Ooops!) and colours, conkers  and cute things to do :)

We planned to go head towards  Chieslehurst delivering some homemade cookies etc for tearoom at an Art Exhibition but with my cold and minibus`s exhaust pipe issues we ended up in a nearby village just a mile or so from home.
 So here we are, enjoying ( well .... ;) ) a glorious  evening, collecting conkers and  taking photos.



Autumn nostalgia or sore throat blues?









 CONKERS!!!














and yet MORE conkers

 a chickens` heaven



And that`s about it, I believe as Ophelia`s tail is bringing us a definite end of balmy weather
Leaves will be swept of the trees as gales sweep in from the West, meaning that winter will start in earnest, especially in Northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
They will bear the brunt of the gales, which in some places will see winds gusting at about 65mph for much of today.
Meteorologists said it was unlikely that any region would escape the gloom.
And the longer term forecast fails to lift the dark skies, with storms expected towards the end of the week as well.
Rachel Vince, forecaster at MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "There is a deep low moving in from the north west bringing very strong and gusty winds across the whole of the UK."

 oh well...

Indian Summer- one glorious morning

With temperatures soaring to 30C we had a beautiful Summer for a week or so, this Autumn with some extra delightful mornings, rather scorching middays and again, pleasantly warm and full of sunshine evenings.

One last hay making


The very secret of this belated Summer:

What has brought the warm autumn weather to the UK?


Over the next few days we are expecting a spell of very warm weather for this time of year across much of England and Wales and even parts of Scotland too. The reason why we are seeing this unseasonable warm spell is due to an area of high pressure which has developed across much of central Europe, centred on Germany and Poland.
This draws up very warm air from a long way south, from parts of France and Spain. That comes across a dry continent removing most of the moisture out of the air. As a result we see very little in the way of cloud with blue skies and plenty of sunshine. As a result the sunshine warms the ground and the ground warms the air so we see high temperatures for this time of the year.
