Bright Autumn days are here! Crisp morning air. The grass be-jewelled with dew, spider-web curtains glittering in the hedges. Great news! The long range forecast gives us a week of settled weather for the farmers to get their harvests in. I noticed that some of the unwashed potatoes in the supermarket yesterday showed signs of Blight. Always suspicious, I wondered whether we're being softened up for the introduction of more expensive alternatives. Even Gardeners' World admitted that Blight had ruined their outdoor tomato crop.
The sky is noticeably empty of swallows. They have left us to go in search of warmer days and nights. Even the clothespegs on the line seem to be gathering together. Luckily they don't have as far to go in search of a warm dry home.
