The weather has been truly glorious with huge cerulean blue skies and temperatures that remain in double figures during the day yet subtle indicators of autumn abound; the leaves in the orchard are dropping and the the colours of the countryside have changed from lush green to golden hues enhanced by reds and yellows. The smell of autumn abounds, a rich loamy decay with subtle spicey undertones of the autumn bonfire. Such a delicious, evocative scent. As dusk creeps in there is a slight nip to the air, hinting at things to come. The holly berries glow ever richer and more red as each day passes with the excited chirrup of the ever present bird life taking full advantage of such a bountiful larder. The orchard has produced so much fruit, why 'tis quite impossible to find willing takers in a county renowned for the fruit and, indeed, the produce of said fruit. An apple a day is said to keep the doctor away, why one can only imagine quite what an orchard full of the fruit can do for the male guardian and I, my dears.
The new covering of the upper floors really is quite the most delightful and feels so gloriously decadent to scrunch one's bare toes upon. Tas been a fair time arriving at the point when ''tis right thus one takes every opportunity to enjoy the sensation. Blissful, quite blissful and in such good time for the winter months, thankfully, for there was a time that one was not quite sure 'twould be achieved. Such a long wait has truly made one appreciate that which we now have. We are indeed, most fortunate although the male guardian would be inclined to say patient and hardworking, more than fortunate. No matter for one is truly grateful and most delighted with the outcome, dear souls, most delighted indeed.
