But its still August
Just been out for me first twilight walk in some time and I'd swear those autumn leaves are well ahead of schedule, In recent years I remember premature browning due to drought, here in the SE, but this summer we've had plenty of watering. Anyone else feel they're a tad early? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLqODPIkWo4 |

I don't keep records but that may be a week or so earlier than normal. Other trees are still in full leaf but it does *feel* autumnal with a softer light, hanging baskets past their best, runner beans coming into harvest with shrubs' leaves starting to turn and flowers fading etc. Single figure minimums are now becoming the norm again and obviously the days are turning shorter. So yes, autumn is practically upon us with winter just around the corner (only 3 months to wait now Lawrence!). Will (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) -- |

Enough on the lawn for me to think it was odd as it has been fairly wet here. Dave |
