Autumn Colours

The seasons run a little later here than our previous home in the south of England and in other years the leaves on our trees have hung on until December then gone brown and fallen off. This year the autumn has been much brighter, maybe it's the dry year we've had (our spring has been dry since May).

Here are a few shots from around the grounds taken this week:

The ornamental cherries beginning to lose their leaves

Last burst of colour for another of our cherries

The mixed beech hedge planted in 2011 well established now

Actually over the road from us but a beautiful silver birch in Lucien's former garden

Our newly named "Sulphur Oak'
