Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days

The Trees care not a jot for the Google's declaration yesterday that it was the first day of Autumn.

They had already been kissed by the first breath of cooler air last week, and the leaves around the top have already began the transformation from green to gold.

The sky is clearer and the sun is lower, and the chill in the air is already catching my lungs in the morning. Inhalers ahoy. Flu jab will be next, and then maybe I'll start wearing a jumper.

But until there is a serious requirement for outer layer,I shall continue to enjoy the cooler air, and the bright sunshine.

Hot flushes are a bitch.
