Well excuse me! We’ve had a small heatwave across the UK for a week now I’m back from holiday. Amazing! Still weather was pretty good on holiday overall but the fens in Norfolk are a little windy. Probably that is why they have so many windmills.

The heatwave dissipated rather abruptly Sunday bringing a day of rain across the north of England. The last gasp of summer evaporates and we go back to normal weather scenarios (cold and grey and very wet) but the leaves seem a good colour this year. We have wind forecast so that should take hold of the trees and cascade drifts of leaves to the ground. I love it when the paths are carpeted in the bronzed hues of the autumn.
