    Can't beat the smell of wood smoke at dusk in the Autumn.

    One of my favourite words :)

    I remember a poem that I think had a line that went something like 'August's dying verdant fecundity....' , and whenever I see a garden that has that overblown August look, all extravagant and flashy like woman wearing too much jewelry, I think of the line.

    Google doesn't know the poem I'm talking about, but if anyone else does let me know.:)

    As I roved out one evening fair by the verdant braes of Skreen...

    (we were made sing this in school)

    Boots!

    I know, love when the boots come in the shops. I'm on the hunt for a pair of ankle boots (I know specifically what I want) but can't find any. I'm having a great time looking at all the boots online though!

    It's kinda been like that here this year!
    Lovely color this year and an abundance of berries. Misty today and tbh the first time I'v felt the threat of winter. Ah well it was a good summer and autumn, going to enjoy the last few weeks before the clocks go back and the grey damp coldish miserable weather sets in.

    This may have been the driest year in Ireland. I remember wondering where all the rain had gone. Even though I am sad I won't be seeing autumn and winter (I love the winter most), I was kind of glad to escape the summer and it's mind effingly long days. I hate them. I am a night owl and they just mess with my mind. For that reason alone, I am happy to be back in good old Africa where the sun sets at 5:45 and the stars light up the sky until the sun rises again, 12 hours later, like clockwork. There's a certain comfort in that constant.

    Although I usually hate the saying: it's very Irish. :)

    Irish women in particular. Absolute nutters among us when it comes to temperature!


    Every country says that about their women ime ;)





    No Autumn here. Great weather and not so great weather and that's it. I miss it. Loved it in Ireland.

    This year I have noticed that the hawthorn trees are covered with an abundance of very red berries.
    It's said that it's a sign of a hard winter, but I think it is a sign that we had a good summer.

    Anyway, red berries for me mean autumn is truly here.

    Really Autumnal in County Meath the past 2 days ONLY - leaves dropping fast, it's lovely in the Sunset ..... but AHHH NOOOO Winter on the way.:(. But have to admit, love the excuse to light the stove after so long - so comforting, when there's a tiny chill ....!:)
