Autumn in England

The season now is technically always referred to as "Autumn" here although I think more often we refer to it as "Fall" in the US. Either way, there have been a few weeks of glorious colors of leaves on trees dotting in the English countryside by us. Here are a few shots from our neck of the woods...

Autumn in England

The foliage here in England this fall has been spectacular! Driving around the countryside we have marveled at the sight of roads with bright fall colored leaves hanging down across them. I took a walk into our little town the other afternoon and snaped a few shots to share.....

Last weekend I had seen an "Apple Day" advertised around the area for a little festival in the Hillclose Gardens in Warwick. I had hopes that we would be able to pick a few apples and buy some good local apples. Unfortunately, the "festival" did not even hold a candle to our experiences at Apple Holler, but we had a nice (short) stroll through the gardens, and we did learn about the history of some local apples. 

Ha! Even the names of their apples made us laugh....
