On leaving the house for our usual morning walk we noticed immediately that the foliage of the deciduous trees along our road was already showing shades of brown, and that....
....the blackberry bushes underneath them were heavy with fruit. It seems early for these signs of autumn but there is plenty of supporting evidence, with....
....the St John's wort along the edges of the forest paths also in fruit and showing some glorious leaf colours and....
....rather more fungi than we've seen in many weeks. I always hesitate to identify fungi but, while this may be a bonnet....
....this may be a scrambled egg slime mould.
Never mind. At least these early signs of autumn are an excuse to enjoy a winter drink, real Bovril made from real beef served in my Bovril-only mug which celebrates that iconic geological feature of Lochaber, the parallel roads of Glen Roy.
