“Don’t you love New York in the Fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.”
Nora Ephron from my favourite Film “You’ve Got Mail”!

Okay so can someone explain to me where this year has gone please? I cannot believe that it is September already and people are already starting to talk about Christmas and things are starting to appear in the shops even before Halloween!
However I must hold my hands up to having already booked the tickets for Great Central Railway to see Santa on the train with the children at Christmas!! But if I had not booked already then we would not be able to get the date we like so I am guilty of already booking Christmas things!!!! We had a busy weekend getting the garden sorted and trimming a lot of the plants which have not been done for a while. We also took out the Box plants that have been in for about twenty years but had developed Box blight. We have arranged for a tree company to come round and trim the trees in the garden hopefully next week some time. Our Roofer is coming tomorrow to check our roof and also clean out all the gutters and make sure everything is okay before Winter. We still have some small jobs to do in the garden. Where the Box was we are going to dig it all over and put some compost in and perhaps plant some spring bulbs in and then in Spring put some new plants in.
At the weekend the family are out on Saturday at a Truck show and I am dog sitting Coco and Gordon. Also hoping to get some quilting done and if not then reading. May also be having a trip out on Sunday but more about that later.
I hope you lovely lot are going to have a wonderful Week and Happy Autumn!
I am not ready for autumn!! I don’t know where the year has gone. Flown by!! I hope you get some quilting and reading done this weekend!!
About the only thing I have done this autumn so far is start to wash windows. You are way ahead of me, Susie! Happy Autumn – the most glorious season!
