I notice you posted a few days ago and I wonder if they have changed since. I was noticing how much like summer it looked and suddenly there are yellow leaves everywhere. I suppose they're like grey hairs. You don't really notice them until suddenly - pow! :)<br />Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-38194026565895795402015-10-06T13:30:31.259+01:002015-10-06T13:30:31.259+01:00Yes, YP, it does scan rather well.

Much as I love sunshine and warmth, there is something about mist and fog that I find irresistible, it gives such a mysterious atmosphere to even the most familiar places. I remember walking to school when I was 7 or 8 years old on misty autumn mornings with my heart beating much faster than usual because I expected surprises around every corner.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-31064184331307505182015-10-04T21:06:47.209+01:002015-10-04T21:06:47.209+01:00Those are certainly some unusual chairs - I like t...Those are certainly some unusual chairs - I like the look of them, but less sure if I'd find them comfortable... ;-)<br />Love the boats in the mist.

If I happen to be on my own and its full I choose the one nearest to the camera if it's free because it's the most comfy (my brother and I tested them all when he was up). I rarely sit outside though. I usually go mid morning before the air has warmed up sufficiently for me (bearing in mind 16ÂșC is regarded as warm here and I like it in the high 20s).Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-87565072345354412052015-10-04T09:16:45.292+01:002015-10-04T09:16:45.292+01:00How clever are those chairs and tables carved from...How clever are those chairs and tables carved from wood!
