What a glorious Autumn week it has been here. I love the glowing colour of this crocosmia - a common sight all over the island right now, where it is often grown as a windbreak. it really comes into it's own at this time of year.
Thankfully the anticipated storm passed us by, although I know some areas on the mainland had high winds. We enjoyed being out and about most days, appreciating the colours of the season. So many lovely things about the past week - here are some of them.
Sunny mornings, still warm enough to sit outside with an early cup of tea
and watch the tide seep silently into the sea-loch.
Driving into town, beautiful skies, straight roads, and good music playing on the radio. Feeling my heart signing along with the sheer joy of it all.
Finding subtle Autumn colours down at the seashore,
and enjoying an impromptu beach picnic with a boy.
Finding more obvious signs of the season, strolling through the castle grounds
and enjoying a delicious lunch with a girl.
Misty Mountains,
Celebrity football matches (Police V Fire Brigade)
Family Fun days,
and huge bowls of home-made popcorn.
I hope you are enjoying the changing colours of your season, and that you have some space and time to bask in the everyday beauty.
Another busy week ahead for us - a lot of crofting and crafting coming up - and a new arrival! All will be revealed in the coming week, so join me then.
♥ Love and blessings to you all for the coming week♥
All looking lovely....and still full of promise...... Those misty mountains look wonderful, evocative of the Highlands & islands at its best! And the popcorn looks pretty inviting too! Best.

ReplyDeleteLovely signs of Autumn. You are building up your very own Ladybird book of what to look for!
ReplyDeleteI meant to say, I see a big change on James in the shot in your previous post. He is moving on.
whenever I look at your photos of the beautiful scenes I have a real sense of the western isle is a place I am going to HAVE to go!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your all having a lovely time too. x x x
So sad that your life is so miserable, no beauty, nothing to do, no one to do it with... ;)

ReplyDeleteSpring is here with blossoms and booms and lengthening daylight hours, to make it perfect I would live somewhere wild and empty.
Thank you all - I know I am so lucky to live here - especially on the sunny blue sky days.
