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

Dividing the spoils

 a chickens` heaven

And that`s about it, I believe as Ophelia`s tail is bringing us a definite end of balmy weather

 Heavy winds spell end of warm autumn

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...
