Is autumn upon us? Driving into work today, I noticed that leaves are turning brown and starting to fall.. the conkers look bigger than usual for the time of year, and even the apples on my tree have come early. And the schools haven't even broken up for summer.
Is this due to the freak weather this year, or something more permanent....?
Can't get out at the moment due to work and a dodgy ankle so not many wildlife sightings but a spider just ran inside my laptop....it is hiding between the keys, in fact I think I may be putting its life at risk by typing so I'll stop now:o
It seems that spiders have death wish in my house, just spotted another biggie crawling across my print as it was about to be wound through my press...that would have been very messy!:D
Nature is preparing for another corker of a winter.Quote:

3 seperate herds of goats including one "billy" with huge horns, I knew they existed but don't think I've ever seen them before.
How did you know his name?
He had a tee-shirt with 'Billy' on it, he could have been acting the goat though.Quote:

I see them at reservoirs quite often, but I haven't seen them deeper into the dalesQuote:
