Autumn in my calendar journal and a Second Look at Autumn

 Well, we certainly have got some Autumn weather - I had to go out briefly last night and there was a definite chill in the air. Yesterday we had one of those yellow sun days with some fluffy clouds, today, rain.

My calendar journal has colours that I think will certainly be appearing all over the place soon - some of the leaves are already getting an Autumn look to them.

Paper Artsy Fresco paints and the new Crafty Individuals grasses and ferns - the October came from an old calendar.

Here is September all filled in - I took my squares with to fill in on holiday, so some French news in here if you want spoilers!

I am of course entering at Art Journal Journey where Tracey has the great theme of 'My Favourite Colour is October'

            

Now, for my Second on the 2nd post and to link to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's Altered Book Lover blog I have chosen an edited TSFT post from just last year - there were some lovely Autumn colours at Fletcher Moss.

Last Friday after my friend's funeral we headed to Fletcher Moss.

First we went into the Parsonage Gardens.

For some reason blogger as decided to reorder these photos but I don't suppose it matters...

From here we went down the hill and into the gates of Fletcher Moss

We just looked through the gate at the rose garden.

It was 12.30 and we were ready for a coffee so I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth at The Altered Book Lover for T Stands For Tuesday

This is the back of the cafe, which isn't open at the moment.

As you know there are mobile wagons now and on Friday we noticed that they are now going to serve hot snacks.

We both had Cappuccinos and shared a flapjack

As we walked away I turned round to take a photo of where we had been sitting.

The gardens really are beautiful at this time of year.

The palms are looking good and can you see those huge pine cones?

We headed down to a lower level

The plants in the pond are dying off and you can see more of the water

We came out of this gate and back onto the path back to the road

Some birch trees have been chopped down - I wonder why?

We walked around mostly in silence, there weren't many folk around and it seemed right considering the day.

I hope you enjoyed this reflective walk.

We haven't been here for a while...and we have been busy this week so our only outings have been essential.

Looking forward to a sunny Autumn......

Thanks for looking, Chris
