Autumn

Autumn has been - and pretty much gone. The Scottish Borders has had so much wind recently, including two storms. So, as soon as the leaves turned gold they were blasted off the trees. However, after the very hot summer we had followed by some damp weather, the fruit on the trees and roadside bushes have been glorious.

Rosehips were more abundant that I have seen them in years - big, glossy, and juicy.
