All the leaves are brown and the skies are grey

Crunching leaves

The clocks have gone back in Britain and it is properly dark! On Monday I took the one year old (hereafter Bumblebee for she is fat, happy & busy) to the park to run around, pick up leaves, oggle at squirrels and burn off some energy. The change in timings caught me somewhat off guard. By the time we got there after her nap, it was practically sunset!

Park in the mornings from now on. Afternoons in the library.

PS Parks with kids are enchanting places. Bumblebee collects the world in tiny handfuls, carefully bringing me leaves, crushed petals and sticks to admire. She clutches a yellow leaf with one fist, the other cold in my hand and crunches through piles of brown leaves with squeaks of joy.

Here are some autumnal scenes for your viewing pleasure.
