We had a hard frost first thing on Saturday morning, the ground being too hard to work we were back on leaf collecting duty until lunch time, if we don't remove them from the grass it will die so unfortunately it is a necessary evil. Despite the nip in the air it was a beautifully clear day with bright sunshine which really picked out the russet colours of autumn, good days now are few and far between so we pressed on in high spirits. More digging and cutting back followed as we gradually work our way around the garden, it certainly looks smart when we have finished an area, weed free the rich earthy soil looks smart against the barks and skeletons of shrubs, a thing you can only appreciate at this time of year.
"The rich colours of grass and earth were intensified by the mellow light of a sun almost warm enough for spring"
