Yesterday's weather: sunny.
It's as if the world has suddenly changed. The early morning frosts of the last week have turned the world from green to golden brown and yellows. I was surprised to see that walnut leaves actually turn, well, dark walnut brown which makes the trees look very sombre compared to the riot of colours in the other trees.
With the sun low over the hills this week, it has spurred Jon to cut down some of the trees closer to the house to try and allow a little more sun on to the patio. We can't do anything about moving the hill or the stand of fir trees which don't belong to us, but we are trying our best to get as much sun as we can during the morning. This will also give us lots of logs to burn in a year or so's time when we have installed the log burner - that will be after converting our sitting room and bedroom into a large lounge - which will be after converting the attic into two bedrooms - which will be after putting in a staircase to the loft and also after putting in the new shower unit which is still sitting in the garage because we can't fit it until we have stairs because the only loft access is over the bath (?).....
So, I don't know what I am doing sitting here writing a blog when there is all this work to get on with. Time for a cuppa, I think.
