I love Autumn.
Unlike the promise and pretence of Spring and Summer, Autumn is a grand letting go. No more the primness and correctness of the first part of the year : Autumn is a riot of colour, smells and renewal.
This morning I was walking in the forest trying to capture a little of the early Autumn colours and I was amazed at how warm the sun still was. The forest floor isn’t yet all covered in leaves but in places the mushrooms are growing and the chestnuts are falling.
Tonight, in keeping with all this Autumnal action, Martin and I went out to see some folk. I love Kate Rusby’s voice and her stage presence is so warm and welcoming it makes for a great show. Well, that and the Guinness. Having got the taste we decided to go visit the Irish club to take another pint or two and drink to the memory of Martin’s Dad.
Slainte!
