Damn those atTICKing wasps! ;)

Seriously though, don't despair, Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of the year. Take a look at all the colours in the tree's and in the sky. If that's not enough then just remember that for the past few years Autumn has been better weatherwise than Summer!

Autumn is awesome. The kids go back to school, so everywhere is much quieter during the week. And the temperature gradually drops down to something bearable.
Autumn is also when I take my holiday, usually with some form of Rover.
And even though all I can afford this year is a 3 day Severn and Solent Rover, Im looking forward to it!

Autumn can be a very good time to take photographs, due to the more interesting light.

Yep it's a shame... Summer is over in just a few hours time and in a few weeks it'll be dark at 6pm, then 5pm and even earlier :(

Only as far as the weather is concerned, astronomically Autumn starts at 04:09 on September 23.

Yup those anoying little things will be along soon. They realy do get on my nerves. At least they're only around for a couple of months

And it could always be worse, it could be the moths. There's been plenty of them around this year. And not just your normal moths, we've had ones as big as a house (Not literaly). Its rather difficult to have a wash and that when there's 5 of them fluttering about. Damned things

It's worse when they sit on your window as if they are watching you, waiting for you to open the window and then they pounce!
