Summer's End

...is not quite here, but I could almost smell autumn in the air this morning, almost but not quite.

Light is different, warmer looking yet sharper without the heat behind it. No more promises of a quiet afternoon in the garden with a book and a sunhat listening to the bees zizzing in the roses

Instead this morning I heard the chattering housemartins, they have had a sucessful summer, lots of nests and many fledglings.

And soon they will be gone and we will have the geese to look forward to.
