Back from Greece.  Very soon off to the Canadian Rockies.  But before I go, a sample of the brilliant autumn in the UK this year.

As a planner by temperament as well as former profession, about 15 years ago I started preparing for inevitable decrepit old age by planting the bottom end of the quarter-acre, 50-metre long back garden with maple trees.   Now it’s a woodland environment with bluebells and wild garlic in Spring .  But this Autumn it was stunningly colourful.

Here’s a sample.

Next blog post will be dominated by white – high mountains and snow.
