After a dismal start to the day, with proper autumnal rain lashing at the windows,
the sun appeared during the afternoon giving me time to potter around in the garden
Leaves have started to turn and drift down from the trees
but for now
from Michaelmas daisies, through the leaves of blueberry shrubs and red salad-bowl lettuce,
kaffir lilies and fuchsias, to ripening apples
the predominant colour in the garden ranges through red to purple
