autumn has arrived in East Sussex

its cool and cloudy most days

it rains frequently

summer is over

a cup of tea with breakfast

looking out over the garden

fruit cropping is finished

summer vegetables all harvested

grass cutting is suspended until spring

leaves are starting to change color

days are getting shorter

it will soon be halloween

pumpkins are ready for carving

cosy evenings by an open fire

drinking warm English beer

telling tales on dark nights

making plans for the future

the seasons roll on
