I was actually quite surprised when I compared today’s view with last week’s – not as much change as I thought after all the wind and rain we had. We can see up into the woods now though (behind the acer).

The acer still has so many leaves so I thought I’d take a few pictures of the last of the autumn colour before it all fades…

And the miniature cherry has managed to retain most of its leaves this autumn too, showing some nice colour

We only had a few very brief rays of sunshine today, but to the north – as is so often the case – the sky was pale blue
