I thought of you today when I got out the wheelbarrow and filled it twice with leaves just from our tulip tree!

Lovely, colourful photos.

Thank you Chris . . . and well done you! I guess that after tonight's frost there just might be a few more leaves down tomorrow - just to keep us fit. Then on Sunday we'll have the "lighting our log fire ceremony": something cheerful to look forward to!

Some gorgeous colours there Sheila, the Cotinus is spectacular, I'm going to think about one for next year. Gorgeous autumn colours, love it like you....:))

I love log fires and the scent of wood smoke - it can get a bit too intense and smoky in our room so quite often the door has to be left open to let in a draught - oh well, can't have it all ways!

Love your Cotinus Sheila - I've got a bronze one it's fab this time of year. I love using it in Autumnal flower arrrangements. :o) I've also got a lime green one can't think of what it's variety is... :o)))

Thanks Tracey - I think all Cotinus are great!

I suppose they never had a chance to really shine this summer Sheila:-))

That's true! But the sun is shining now, so I shall pop up to the greenhouse to pick the last of the strawberries :))
