The autumn leaves look beautiful in neat circles under the trees. No mowing means they lie undisturbed

Fungi the size of my tea mug. There are so many different sorts in the garden this autumn.

Spindle berries! Mum was so excited to see these last week. There are at least 4 spindle berry bushes on the right hand side of the garden.

Beech trees and mahonia japonica looking good today. The mahonia smells wonderful too- I didn't realise until I walked past  this afternoon and suddenly caught a sweet smell on the breeze

A temporary bird feeding station! Didn’t realise I had so few bird feeders and that I really need peanuts and also some niger seeds for the goldfinches. Not sure the birds will even bother with this sad effort.
