A Summer's Day in Autumn!

Literally out-of-the-blue weather, hot enough to warrant one more firing up of our barbecue; thoughts of burgers, sausages, chicken and cold beer  were dragged from hibernation and for one last time this year, elasticated waistbands were back in vogue.
Couldn’t believe our luck; sat in the garden with 30 degrees of sunshine, but in October? Unheard of for this part of the world. Should be under threat from hard frosts and damp mists – maybe even snow. Bit like the picture here of my wife, Victoria blazing a trail through last year’s, most definitely un-barbecue friendly, first snowfall.
A day later and the barbecue’s back in the shed, because surprise, surprise it’s raining! But that’s England – wouldn’t have it any other way...
