Autumn?

I don't think so!
We were forecast rain this morning, but it never happened. It hasn't rained for so long that everything underfoot is dry and crunchy. Pam, Jill & I popped into Saintes to start Jill's Christmas shopping and do some food shopping, then had lunch and a swim.
It's still warm here, around 26 degrees, and the sun came out as Pam was teaching us some hip exercises in the pool (Jill needs a hip replacement) Then Mr F rotisseried a couple of chickens on the BBQ for dinner while Elvis chewed the corner of the wall between the utility room and the kitchen, leaving plaster dust strewn across the floor.
