The season of mists and mellow fruitfulness

I can't remember who wrote that, but autumn is here. We have even had a frost, thus I was able to pick the pumpkin. It will soon be turned into soup.

We tried for a walk around the lake with Grandpa, but sadly grumping intervened and we only got as far as the Carillion.

Fortunately, the appearance of the Jane Austen Appreciation Society in full costume cheered everyone up. We also found the East Timor flag in your honour.

Tennis and chess today followed by a visit to Grandpafather, who was very chirpy and enjoyed having Rosemary feed him his dinner.

There has been gardening - I moved all the irises from the garden bed under the back deck and put another rose in there. Suzi got another wash, which seems to have helped with the flea situation. I'm hoping the girls will do a bit of bike riding this week with the babysitter. Then, before we know it, term 2 will have begun and it will be back to the school, netball, choir, circus, swimming routine.

Anyway, at least there's been a bit of news and some pics for you!
