Happy Halloween

A Lovely Month

I'm back from a break in Pembrokeshire in Wales enjoying what has surprised us all: a gorgeous autumn. There are warnings that with the roses still in bloom and some days feeling like summer we'll pay for it with a harsh winter. As there's nothing we can do to alter whatever is in store, I've been enjoying every moment with long walks in forests and on beaches, with some clambering about the occasional castle thrown in.

Continuing my autumn celebration here's another little poem, this time an Haiku entitled Rust. Although the word is most associated with a type of decay it's the perfect description of the colour of some of the leaves on the tree and notes a decomposition that creates one of our most lovely seasons.
