Well I haven’t had my slide yet, the weather has not been in my favour - never mind, it will happen.  Plus a further week of illness amongst the family has meant not moving very far from the house.

However, we did the next best wintery thing and made a huge pile of leaves in the garden and jumped in them.  Did we bag them up and leave the garden all nice and tidy.  What do you think?Well we had to have an excuse to get back in the garden, didn’t we?

I took this picture, because I was stunned at the number of colours in amongst the leaves and as it was wet, they looked really shimmery and pretty in the half light of last weekend’s bright but rainy weather.
