The last of the autumn colour

There are still a few trees in the churchyard that have their autumn colours but the leaves are falling fast now.  I decided to have a cooking morning and made a beef and mushroom stew with dumplings.  I am mostly veggie now but there is some meat in the freezer to use up.  I had planned to be playing in a badminton match tonight but had to cry off as something more important cropped up.
