Autumn's arrived.

Travelling from Newtown to Knighton. A very grey day. In the Teme valley I saw these golden and russet trees and so I had to stop to photograph them.
A friend has recently had a cataract operation. He was thrilled to see all the colours which were so much brighter than he'd got used to! How lovely that he had it done in autumn.

Sadly we've had a series of very leaden days recently. Not at all like last November which was freezing and even snowy. Being a naturally warm person I hadn't realised that the house had become chilly until my daughter came into the lounge wearing her fur boots, ON went the central heating!
