Fall?
Wow' it's really been a while since I last typed anything here!
Things haven't been that busy, but I have been easily distracted. We really enjoyed watching the Rugby World Cup even though a lot of the matches were shown a day or so later on our TV package. Couldn't believe England made it to the final and although I'm disappointed by the final result, I'm not upset. We must have confused the neighbours a bit by flying the flags of St George and the y Draig Goch in place of the Union Flag when England or Wales played.
We thought winter was on the way this week as temperatures dropped and we had to turn the heating on. But after a couple of days wearing long sleeve shirts on the bike it warmed back up enough to necessitate wearing shorts again.
There was much excitement in the populace on Friday as we had rain showers which was the first "significant rain" we've had in 34 days apparently! Although there wasn't that much rain by us the accompanying rain helped to bring down more leaves. We must be in a bit of a micro-climate as the fall colours (I'm happy to sat Fall but not spell colours incorrectly!) are only just starting to show in our garden but they are more striking a few miles south of us.
I'm currently at the airport waiting to go to Scotland and I'm back over to Bristol at the beginning of December. When I get back from this trip I'm tagging along with Helen to her conference in Denver and then we take a quick trip up the road to go boarding in the Rockies. Hope we get snow earlier in DC this year especially as Cat, Judy, Paul and Amy are over for Christmas.
