Autumn Glory

AUTUMN IS THE BEST SEASON OF ALL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or as my mother would say …”if it wasn’t for the shortening of the days!”

 

I don’t mind the shortening of the days. I embrace the cosiness of Autumn, or ‘Fall’ for our Transatlantic friends.

 

The colours, the smells, the slow build of excitement for Hallowe’en, then Christmas (can I say that word yet?)

 

Perthshire, in particular is a fiery pallet of colour in the Autumn months. Come and see for yourselves.

 

There are lots of events on around this time of year:
