Today was the day when it finally felt like the golden days of Autumn had come to an end and the slow decay into winter has begun. Yesterday I drove to Edinburgh and back in a day which was a pretty stupid decision in retrospect. Driving 700 miles in a day is difficult at the best of times, but doubly so when it is absolutely arsing it down with rain. Even with windscreen wipers at full pelt, I could still barely see a thing.
Today most of the drains are blocked by fallen leaves and spending even a nanosecond outside makes me scurry for indoors like the big girl that I am. Big coats have been taken out of the wardrobe and dusted down in preparation for the harsh weather ahead.
I also notice that the Christmas adverts have started in earnest which is a thoroughly depressing thought. My sister has issued her first tentative stab at a Christmas present list and I know that I can only ignore it for a few weeks at the most.
For now I shall remain a Christmas denier but it's only a matter of time before someone starts shaking those bloody sleigh bells.
