It continues mild here for the time of year,
So, you won’t need too many layers as you join us for a walk.
Let’s start off with a refreshing swim.
As the sun rises over the horizon, it creates
Copper mosaics,
And electricity lines glow like
Golden necklaces
While the leaves on the birch trees
Shine like luminous earrings.
Breathe deeply – this is where we get our energy from.
Enough energy to finish off our long walk
With a splash.

Oscar, you are like a little golden ray of sunshine! I think I need to send Miss Sophie to visit, so you can teach her water appreciation.
The autumn leaves have been fantastic this year and I am so grateful that we have seen them for so long. We have just caught the beginning of Stormen Simone down here, so batten the hatches as it’s blowing and raining hard.
