Cloudy Autumn Valley

The rain continues with overcast skies punctuated by short sunny breaks and quite a lot of wind! Autumn has definitely blown in.

It’s still very comfortable outside but the cooler temperatures are nice even if the wind tries to steal your shirt! There will likely be a few more completely lovely days before autumn’s invigorating coolness and stunning colours start arriving.

Happy Tuesday.

An Autumn Tone

We have entered a period of beautiful weather: warm, sunny and windless. The lake has been like a millpond.

But there’s something undefinably autumnal about the tone and atmosphere, as if the earth is releasing a long held breath and settling into a comfortable chair before heading into winter. The geese are eating and flocking; the leaves are starting to turn and the very air seems to be drowsing.

It’s time to enjoy this lovely pause.

Happy Friday.
