Beautiful Saville Garden on a beautiful day

The Saville Garden is only about seven miles from where we live, but my wife and I have never been there before yesterday.

What a lovely place! Helped, undoubtedly, by a glorious autumn day.

We had a marvellous walk among the autumn colours.

 

As parts of the garden are called Spring, Summer and Winter as well as Autumn, I imagine it's beautiful any time of the year.

You can walk down to Virginia Water in about 10 minutes too. Around Virginia Water might take a bit longer at 4.5 miles - for another day, as we will be back.

When shall we hibernate until?

We were all briefly uplifted in the UK (well, at least the southern half) last week as our summer finally arrived - in autumn! Temperatures soared into the high twenties (C) and people dashed for beaches and last minute weekend trips away.

It was a chance to forget the troubles of the debt-crisis and the economy and our spirits had a chance to be revived.

Now, as temperatures head back towards their normal levels for October, we are left with the shops beginning to fill with Christmas items (that seemed a lifetime away last week!) and the economic woes getting even bleaker.

Makes you feel like going into hibernation, doesn't it? But when on earth would you come out again? Next April, June ... October?
