Maybe I've been too busy to notice but did I miss Autumn? Seems winter is here already.

It's hard to tell it's autumn without autumn leaves ft. these trees known for allergy balls

Plane trees 🤧😷

I am so happy to be away from the dreaded plane trees and grimy streets of carlton

here the other day after some rain I went outside and the air smelled like a fresh forest 😭

I feel like we skipped into Winter very quickly. Even the beautiful big tree behind our house was confused for ages and then dropped its leaves very quickly!

I've still got some autumn colours in the garden.

With the morning frosts, I'm trying my last effort at growing poppies.

June will be winter, so in a few days it will be official… I had to check for the gardening thread as I never remember the seasons

I noticed some red leaves on a maple today, maybe the colours turning has been late because we had such a warm sunny April.

Feels like it’s been summer, summer, summer, little autumn, winter, winter, winter.
