Staging autumn...

... with some juicy apples and with faux fur...

... with my now - hooray - two olive trees being "aired" a little...

... with a star cushion made from a chequered dress I never wore...

... and the ground still with its unsightly stains by blackberries rejected by birds...

... in a corner of our garden that seldom looks like this, 

but which was styled for autumn in an attempt to make September feel a little less daunting...! 

I guess I was not entirely ready for autumn, after all...
