The Leaves

Visible to anyone in the world

The leaves always whisper

Come on come on

Let's get down and dirty

We shall be your cosy blanket

Of bright wet flame.

We drove back from Swansea to Lancashire yesterday during the day.  We went cross-country through the middle of Wales.  As I was passenging I made the most of being able to take in the views.  It's a nice run at any time of the year but I was particularly attending the colour of the trees; I do not recall such variance and richness of red colours before.

Let's hope the weather is good – no storms –  and the trees don't shed their leaves too quickly.
