Opinion was divided at the Golf Club Ladies Morning yesterday some said yes an autumnal change in the air one said ' are you bloody mad'. smile

We took the dog for a walk on Tuesday night and the S.O. turned to me and said 'it's getting autumnal, I can feel it tonight'. To me, the beginning of autumn is the sight of the rowan berries and monbretia and the drift into winter starts with the cyclamen flowering. I used to love winter when I was younger but not now that I get creaky joints [and worry about the cost of heating].

Sue I agree there is a touch of Autumn about.

I feel an empathy with that season, having been born in September, and I get a bit of a high when we have sunny days and chillier evenings and the trees start to change. I know that might sound odd but it's true. confused

Tegan the monbretia has been flowering here for weeks, it must have liked the weather!
