The Things you Find

Autumn has arrived quickly but we have had some lovely colours. The leaves have finally gone dark brown but, because we have not had any rain lately, they are still on the trees.

We have been making use of this dry spell to work outdoors on the garden. I have cut down the small scrubby trees that have been allowed to grow in the courtyard area. This has opened it up and lets the grass drove to the side of the house link up with the back garden.

Sue has been clearing the brambles and saplings which have created a 10 to 15 ft. 'border' along the top edge of the front garden. This has led to the uncovering of ancient agricultural equipment abandoned, I expect, from whenever the auction to clear the house was held. Presumably, this equipment we have found had no value and wasn't sold. We will investigate the junk dealers before we dump it!
