      Love this time of year, wonderful colours, game is in season. Chutneys, soups, stews. Snuggling in front of the fire with a hot chocolate.

        I agree, just cooked four venison, cherry, chocolate porter pies. One going to my favourite woman tomorrow!

        I have an acacia tree in the back garden, so to speak, and it's turning a wonderful vermillion.

        Mind you, cycling and motorbiking are getting a tad chilly - still no heating on in hyperD towers though!

              No no no EO, summer is wonderful for BBQs, lobster on the grill so to speak. Autumn is a more reflective and sombre time to wish you had done more when the sun was out.

              OMG, the smell of banana bread is wonderful, gonna take it out the oven and scoff the lot like the code monkey I am!

                Not a bad time of the year. Especially where we live which is quite countryfied. We had the fire on for the first time at the weekend.

                I can tell winter's on the way when the cats stay in at night - this is the first week that they've been hanging round in the evenings instead of being out terrorising the local wildlife.

                This time of the year is all about catching up with friends, eating good food and making plans.

                    The menu changes, lots of soups and stews. Candles on while watching spooky vids on YouTube, planning the Christmas day meal which will likely be goose. Who's gonna get invited? Birthday bash just before Christmas.

                    Will I have a party at New Year or join a band up north somewhere for a three day gig / piss up?

                    I don't mind the weather, love being indoors with the wind battering the rain against the window whilst getting more creative recording tunes in the studio.

                    I could go on...
                    I just love the seasons, and the change, especially out here on the levels. I ccycle through them almost daily, and paddle all the year through, and it's just amazing.

                    I love the first fire of the year, of long walks all wrapped up, then back home to hot soup, made from the veggies in the garden.

                    Seasons, it's actually what makes this country more bearable.

                      I made some wholemeal olive bread last night. Jesus, when it came out of the over, I knew it was unlikely to make the night.
