autumn chores

this has been a week of tidying up, repairing a wobbly table top, straightening a chair with crooked legs, weeding, moving firewood from the log store up onto the terrace to be handier for the woodburners, raking leaves and putting into the compost - every day - and finally finishing the last raised bed ready for seeds.

yesterday was quite cool for the time of year and we did begin to wonder if winter was coming early, we had a max. temperature of 12 (shade temp) but not much sun either but today dawned with clear blue skies and a high of 17 (shade) - so hot in the sunshine that i was in summer clothes this afternoon. But again, at sunset it's as if the heating has gone off and it's back to winter wear and woodburners!
