    Remember those long hot sunny days,they were fabulous and now that the nights are pulling in very quickly,there is much less daylight and its gone....Autumn is here,another great season with a whole new perspective.
    In case any one wants to post a picture to remind us of that fabulous summer,this could be the place to do it.......

    But winter doesn't always have to be bad - I took this in January down by the harbour ...

    ...and from the other side in early June, a favourite spot of mine for a coffee or glass of vino-collapso overlooking the inner harbour towards the town...

    Tegan and I thought that it was far too hot to do too much work in the garden this summer. So...we didn't

    Lovely pictures, folks. The UK is a very special place with varied scenery. Love the harbour, DaveP ... super place to relax! [​IMG] Had to chuckle at Tegan's position, Hornbeam ... our female cats lie like that! :eek:

    DaveP, what do the cidps look like in Torquay, there are supposed to be quite a few and give a really subtropical look this summer. We only have two large ones here.
