There's no getting away from it, despite the recent warm, sunny spell, winter is not far away.
The shops are in a quandry as to where to display the halloween items and where to put their Christmas offerings.
The card shops have halved the choice of birthday cards and replaced with this years selection of Christmas cards.
I spend each weekend sweeping the piles of fallen leaves that congregate at my front door - even though none of them are from trees in our garden.
There is a defininte crispness in the air on the morning dog walks, which I love.
The central heating boiler kicking in now wakes me before the alarm goes off.
The radishes seem to have stopped growing (but are still nice and crunchy).
And so this weekend we went out and started to tidy the garden ready for winter. The grass has had (hopefully) its final cut. The 6 ft high hedge has been trimmed all neat and tidy. The plants have been tidied, clipped or removed.
The summer jackets have been put at the back of the wardrobe and the winter, padded jackets have made it to the coat pegs next to the dog leads.
The sandals have been stored away and the big walking boots are now next to the slippers in the shoe cupboard.
We're ready for winter to start.
Bring it on!
