wednesday: orange

today is orange in colour week over at poppytalk. i have added one of my favourite mugs ( atelier lzc for habitat 05 ) that i will be using for many a hot chocolate this autumn, and some amazing vivid orange wool i purchased ages ago in loop. i am still deciding what to use it for.

autumn seedlings growing in little paper pots ready to plant over at my allotment, some clover growing nearby my home and some green ferns. i am taking part in poppytalk's autumn colour week.

monday: yellow

i am taking part in autumn colour week over at poppytalk. you can add pictures to your blog or flickr sites and add them to a special flickr group. i love yellow. ilove my yellow shoes. oh and i love autumn!

the magic conker

i love autumn. it has always been my favorite time of the year. one of the things i love about it are conkers. they remind me of when i was a kid, gathering fallen ones from trees on the way to school to thread onto string and have conker 'fights' with chums.

i love this book from my childhood as it has a very happy ending! there is a tree in the city a short stroll from my home that has a plentiful supply at this time of year. i was lucky enough to find all of these ones there.

september flowers

there are some beautiful flowers still in bloom at my allotment including wildflowers from tracy all the way from denmark. thanks tracy for cheering up me and my wee garden with colour and butterfly's! here is a little posy for you!
