I live next to a nature reserve, which I may have mentioned once or twice. Or maybe every time I go there. (I guess I just really want you to know.) It’s been a little while since I had a good walk around the area though. Now that it’s Autumn I wanted to take Poppy my pooch and have a good little explore just like old times.

It was a pretty sunny day, but when the sun goes behind the clouds it can turn a bright blue sky into a dull grey. We walked by the lake and I waited as per normal until Poppy finished sniffing whichever patch she was interested in and joined me. 

Gone are the bees and butterflies, I still saw the odd dragon fly flitting about though. The bright coloured flowers are all but gone. That just makes way for the orange leaves on the trees. The deep red and yellow and the dark greens, the colours of autumn. It’s one of my favourite seasons, the colours being one of the main reasons.

Its the time for Halloween and Bonfire Night. For getting your big coat out and wearing matching gloves and scarves. I love it, if you couldn't tell already.
