False Autumn

It looks like autumn has already hit the East Midlands so many leaves falling and on the ground. I heard on the radio it is called a false autumn. I had a last walk with Chris and Oscar before leaving at 10am. The roads were really busy and I had two long holdups. Cutting hedges so only one lane on a really busy road and a stranded vehicle on the M6 so 4 lanes to two! I stopped at the services on the M1 (glad I did) and bought some food. I actually bumped into a friend I used to work with and her family they were driving down to London to watch Coldplay. What a coincidence/ small world! I got home at 2.30 and straight away put the washing machine on with all the Oscar bits. 
I have recovered from the journey reading, pottering in the garden and having a lovely glass of wine.
