It doesn't take long to fill the green wheelie bin and then we revert to large bags and at least once a week take them to the "tip" (recycling centre). Despite this it does look beautiful and so far we've enjoyed the onset of autumn. As can be seen from this shot taken from our front door there are still a load of leaves left to fall so there will be more work to be done in the coming weeks.

We've also noticed blue tits popping into our nest boxes so hopefully we may have some breeding birds in the spring which will be great.
