We’ve had a couple of very frosty mornings here in Ducote and the weather this weekend was fabulous – brilliant sunshine, although we are having to wrap up warmly.

Walking Bob early on Friday morning, I could have kicked myself for not having my camera with me – the sky was blue, the sun was rising and a soft breeze made it look as though it was raining leaves.  Stunning colours and just a drift of leaves fluttering to land on the paths.

A second frost on Saturday stripped the leaves off some of the trees in our garden, leaving them bare.  And while the photograph really doesnt do it justice, the gorgeous yellow of our ginkgo lying on the lawn looks stunning
