Youngest daughter took the recycling out early yesterday & she could see her breath in the air. Very Autumnal ;D. I must admit I am an Autumn/Winter person.

 ;D I'm a spring and summer person, I hate the long dark cold days of winter. But hey the sun is shining and it is a most beautiful day today.

Lol, yes piles of scrunchy leaves, fantastic fun and then recycled for leaf mold!

I always used to fall for pinch and a punch  ::)

There are mods for SMF forums such as this but I am a goon at all things programmy so have no idea about compatibility etc..
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=977

It would be nice to post vids in line but it opens up a whole line for spammers, ads and "questionable material" being posted  I guess...

It felt positively Autumnal on my bike at 7:30 today - crisp and bright.

Add me to the list of winter dislikers! 

On the plus side, it's been beautiful here (South East) today and set to be 25 tomorrow and the same on Saturday :)

As summer was cancelled during August the 1st Sept is the new unofficial start to summer in Sunny Sussex.

It's been a lovely day here.  :) Autumn can wait a bit.  :P

Anyone else use Met Office site (BBC derives from there, I think) - drives me bonkers as you make plans using their forecast and then it just keeps on changing - rain's supposedly dropped out of Sunday now but not holding my breath....

My tomatoes might now actually go red.

problem is the skins are now so tough they can be used as replacement Brake Pad liners on a Foden 15 tonner.

I think they are doing that already. No more trips to the plot until 9pm  :(
