♍ you know it's autumn when... ♍

It's time to take the summer canopy down and pack away the bunting...
The sky is still wide and blue but I'm off on my annual jaunt to Turkey and I'm not sure 
the weather is going to be as pretty as this when I return...
So I pack away the summer into the drawer under my bed and 
not wish too much time away until I can retrieve it all...

After all, I love the autumn and a chance to catch up on my crochet, 
my stove and my reading..
I think I achieve more in the winter months, longer evenings..
a sense of time drifting.
I bought this lined basket at the boot fair yesterday to store my wool in..
My wool was kept in a shoe box waiting for the right thing to appear.
Ta daaaaaa. £2. 

I also bought this pretty book for 50 pence. I cannot resist a lovely looking book

even though I am as musical as a row of green ten bottles sitting and falling off a wall.

And I know it's Autumn when my lawn is dotted with fungi.
I feel very drawn to these otherworldly beings.
I'm going to sketch them just so I can determine their structures.

I'm bound to have some lovely images from Turkey to share with you..so I'll be back soon.
Enjoy these late summer days. They are sweet and bitter.
I'm off to eat figs and gaze at mountains.
