Autumn

Autumn is now well and truly with us, the last six weeks or so have been very pleasant here in North Devon but the wind and rain have finally found us. Saying that I am still wondering around in my shorts and Tshirts refusing to let go of that summer feeling.

I do like Autumn though because as the nights draw in you start to get the smell of the wood burners drifting around the village which is very warming on the wet and windy walk to the pub. It is the colours that I like the most though. The golden yellow browns of the trees, the colours don't last long I know but they are wonderful. I especially like the changes down the Tarka trail as the colours seem to last a bit longer down there. I think the trees are a little more sheltered so the winds don't blow all the leaves off.

The longer I live here in North Devon the more I appreciate the beauty of the changing seasons and the effects it has on the wonderful landscape that surrounds us.
