Autumn is here.
There is a definite chill in the air.
I’ve been washing the spare bedroom bedding this morning and have hung it on the field gate to dry.
Leaves are whipping down the lane as if in a grey river and have started to heap in the gateways and livery stable fields and the ponies have started to wear their winter coats.
Roger has been galloping around the front garden, excited by the wind.
He remains a joy
A regular little gentleman.
Who has only just started to learn to cock his leg up against the shrubs and flowers like an adult.
Chic Eleanor has just messaged. We are meeting in the pub at 5.30
“ how naughty !” She texted
I guess the word "Autumn" does have a silent "n" but not usually absent.
ReplyDeleteWho couldn't love that face? Hope the washing doesn't end up in the lane or the field. xx
ReplyDeleteNo, I hang smalls on the bushes in the back garden
DeleteRoger is a good fellow. Watching him chase leaves blowing in the wind is delightful. Does he have a puppy friend to play with? The pub at 5 with Eleanor sounds like good fun.
ReplyDeleteHe plays with Mary , usually after dinner times , she’s a great wrestler
DeleteDorothy ignores him
A pub drink with Chic Eleanor sounds delightfully naughty on a Wednesday afternoon. When I was at University I met for afternoon beers with a friend every Wednesday for an entire school year. We laughingly called it "Beer Wednesday". My classes were done for the day by the time we met but he had one more evening class to get through. He eventually had to repeat that course...understandably.
ReplyDeleteWe had a lovely tea too she had sea bream I had pulled pork nachos
DeleteHave one for me x
ReplyDeleteAlways do mave x
DeleteWell, it's not THAT naughty!
ReplyDeleteOn a school night
DeleteThis will be our last nice summery autumn day here. Tomorrow the weather will take a nasty turn and we may have wet snow this weekend. Alas.
ReplyDeleteYes it’s all downhill until spring x
DeleteRoger is a handsome boy to be true. But piddling up the flowers is not very gentlemanly methinks. I'll have a pint of Guiness ta very much Tess x
ReplyDeleteBetter than in the house...me too on the Guiness.
DeleteTess and Gemma
DeleteDon’t have too much it turns your poo black
I join in the hopes the bedding dried on the gate wothout any flying elsewhere!
ReplyDeleteThe puppy joy Roger has brought to you lifts the heart, doesn't it?
Hugs!
He’s a sweetie
DeleteEven getting laundry half dry outside makes a huge difference. Though you do have to keep a weather eye out while it is on the line!!
ReplyDeleteIt always smells fresh and because of the shrubs sometimes has the scent of greenery
DeleteA five o'clock drink is always enjoyable - I like a glass of wine nearby while I'm cooking dinner! Hope the pub was a fun time with Eleanor.
ReplyDeleteI'm just back from New England where the Autumn colors are magnificent this year and we hit peak season with just enough fallen leaves to have colorful 'carpets' along the country roadsides, and plenty of sunshine.
Oh John, Roger is adorable........
I never drink and cook
DeletePerhaps I should start
Take my advice and never drink whilst cooking; it's too distracting hahaha.

I wish I could have met you and Chic Eleanor in the pub at 5:30. I take it Roger has been watching you for the leg lifting.
ReplyDeleteYou’d have been made very welcome
DeleteIs it too late for me to be there with Chic Eleanor instead of yourself? I could provide an excuse of 'he's sweeping up leaves in the lane and can't make it! ' It's plausible. ;>)
ReplyDeleteShe would entertain you and at sixty she is my role model . She’s just got a position as counsellor in a local ( not mine) hospice
DeleteMy lily was running wild with gay abandon on the hills overlooking the wild horses sea - she slipped on a poo and rolled and rolled in it kicking her long legs in the air x🍂🍁🕸
ReplyDeleteBathtime again
DeleteHope it wasn’t fox poo
I think it was badger x 💃
DeleteRoger looks like a smart boy. Finally cocking his leg and outside on the shrubs .... result. Hope you enjoyed the pub.

I did …we had a lovely time, as always
DeleteThe trees are starting to color here
ReplyDeleteThat very first cock of the leg is so exciting. A real coming of age!
ReplyDeleteAutumn leaves and the gorgeous colours are one of my favourite things.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny watching children or animals get excited by a windy day and just run around enjoying it! Roger is so sweet.
It has been snowing here for the past three days. I'm baking bread!
