Considering we're halfway through October there are still pockets of colour in the garden which is lovely to see. Over the next month the trees will continuously dump their leaves over the lawns and despite my best efforts it's impossible to keep them clear.

The vegetable plot gives me a great deal of pleasure and I've already planted garlic and a couple of rows of early onions. I do need to plan for next year...
