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...

Whispers of autumn...
I suppose that's it then.
Flip-flops, sandy sun-cream, the long warm evenings - it is time to shove you all in a cupboard and hope you will still be willing to play when it is your turn again... next year...
OK, bearers of autumn, I am ready.
Bring it on!
