An Indian Summer
It is not that often we get an Indian summer in Britain. With the soft, subtle light of autumn many turning leaves take on special effects straight from the theatre.

Spring is in the Air
With winter having a final wild fling, there are signs that the year is now turning. Snowdrops and other heralds of spring warm the heart at this time of year.
