I phoned my garage early Saturday morning for an appointment to fit winter tyres on the car. I was both lucky and delighted that they could fit me in early afternoon because the weather lady had forecast snow, and most tyre centres were battling with very long queues!
The morning was then spent walking through the rain swept countryside with a very soggy dog. Being already soaked I decided to do a little something in the garden, and a bit of leaf sweeping put me in a particularly autumnal mood. In the afternoon the winter wheels were fitted and not a moment too soon it seems, because the rain turned quickly to snow and by Sunday the view from the window was really quite wintry.
