Just been walking round my gardens and it is really starting to look quite
autumnal. My mature sycamore tree now has a lot of leaves turning brown/yellow.
Grass is slowing down growth and some of the shrubs in the deciduous border are
losing their leaves. In the distance leaves on upper branches of trees have a
brown tinge. Plenty of debris (twigs, small branches) after today's winds add to
the autumnal feel as well as the temperature of 11C. Still with the earth
temperatures some 2-3 deg C lower than last year it is perhaps not too
surprising.

Will.
