Autumn

Somehow, despite the weather forecast, it was a surprise to see frost on the ground this morning.  The skies were blue all day and, accordingly, it stayed pretty cold despite the sunshine.

More shed activity: GardenChap put the roof on this morning - with just the bitumen to go on to make it properly weather-proof.  This afternoon Mr B sorted out a problem with levels that would probably have been ok, but was bugging me.  Meanwhile I treated the rest of the wood for facia boards and the like, incompetently jigsawed a very long length of wood in half, and dealt with a bunch of admin things.  (Including booking panto tickets; oh yes I did.)

This oak tree was for the chop, but its pretty shape earned it a reprieve.  I think its bonny autumn foliage earns it a permanent place here in the 'orchard'.  (The 'orchard' will lose its apostrophes when the 'apple trees' do anything to prove to me that they are not just ordinary trees.)
