Is it cold out there?

Yes it is but no real frost and no snow yet. The wind is from the north-west which is helping and not due north which would be even colder.

I know I am a wimp when it is cold but if we are going to have a hard winter I will try to get used to it and get down to the beach more often.

Sun on the waves.

Two lovely sunny days but with a mean temperature of three degrees C. Great to look at but all I want to do is sit by the fire and keep warm.

An abstract picture created by accident as the paint peeled off the animal feeding trough. I keep finding these pictures on driftwood and other odds and ends and I think I feel an exhibition coming on for the shop.

I have got a bit behind myself.

The yard is out of control after the busy summer, but it has been productive. Beans, broad and french, with carrots and tomatoes and a few potatoes and herbs to add to the mix.

With a lot of help from two friends it has been returned to some semblance of order and is now ready for some horse muck to enrich the compost for next year. Very much a case of many hands get the job done.
