Leaf Colours & Leaf Collecting!

 

After a week's absence, unsurprisingly, we missed the tulip tree colours as 90% of its colour was on the lawn!  These leaves are large and heavy when wet and so began the big clear up alone. Noah the mower doesn't cope with leaves - especially thick layers of large ones! At least the weather was dry as filling bulk bags with large quantities of leaves & lifting heavy bags on to the compost heap is really a 2 man job.  

Still, when all was finished and lawns mowed, the sun came out for a few minutes and it was time to admire the view and the colours of the leaves in the adjoining cider apple orchards.
