Leaves and Sausage Rolls

 

Travelling up and down the motorway on Sunday to go and visit Mum we were treated to the full display of mostly British trees giving us their autumnal displays.  The colours are just starting to really stand out and it always makes me happy.

We were also treated to the sight of a squirrel having a snack in front of my car before I pulled away from the car park at the care home.  I didn't want to disturb him by starting the engine so we just watched ... he was literally 'having a break and having a KitKat'.  If you are from the UK you will remember the adverts for that particular chocolate bar, although they never mentioned squirrels!!  😄

We struck lucky with our 'freebie' timings at Greggs when we stopped at the services on the way home.  We had enough on the app to qualify us for a free coffee, a free sausage roll and a free doughnut.  It meant we got our Sunday lunch for two people for just £7.10.  

Out in our garden everything looks fresh and washed after Storm Amy, the stones remind me of being on Llandudno beach and all the plants seem to have come back to life.  Weirdly my Hydrangea has put out another white flower, just as all the others are in their Autumn colours.

A final hurrah to see the season out.

I'm also loving the colour of the leaves on my blueberry bush.  It will be a plant pot full of twigs in a few weeks so I am enjoying it while it lasts.  

I love seeing the garden readying itself for the Winter, I think we all need to take time to wind down a bit and lay dormant for a while.
