Signs of Autumn

Goodness me, that was a busy week! Several play dates, with new friends and old, meetings, train rides, walks, cooking, comic making, action figure playing and so much more. The weeks and months to come are filling up swiftly with activities, free cinema showings, workshops, special markets, puppet and orchestral performances and all sorts of other things too.

This morning we had some free time to relax and just be which was very welcome. The weather was so beautiful we had to get outside. We headed off to the park and had a lovely play and catch up with each other.


We went hunting for conkers and acorns and found squirrels doing the same thing.


Admiring things such as the sparkling dewy grass and the silky chestnut shells I couldn't help but be reminded of this hymn that was popular during my school days. I'm not really a hymn person but you wont be surprised to read it was my favourite one.

Our findings


There were leaves starting to form their annual carpet on the grass and pathways and the trees are very subtly changing colour



We popped into the supermarket on our way home to get something for lunch and found them stocking shelves with Christmas items! As much as I love the festive season, I really want to keep my focus firmly set in Autumn for the time being.

Thank you so much to everyone who left well wishes for Cameron on my last post, they really have made a difference. He's very excited and nervous about tonight. I really hope it works out for him.
