A busy day one way or another, I managed to finish the VAT returns ( not paying till next week). Peter the plumber arrived mid VAT and sorted out the central heating glitch.
It rained on and off all day and not a great forecast for the weekend.
The leaves seem to be slow in changing colour and one night the wind will blow and they will all be gone. In the Westmorland Gazette I saw a telephone hotline to tell you where the best colours are at any time (01768778469) or www.forestry.gov/autumn. Give it a go.
Everybody arrived by teatime which is good for a Friday night.
