My favorite time in Downderry garden and Bickleigh Vale

It’s nearly the end of autumn, my favourite time in Downderry garden and Bickleighvale, The crunch of leaves bare skeletal trees, soft light sunshine, through the mossy branches, It is just so beautiful.of course we have finally had some really splendid rain, so the poor gasping gardens, can finally breath again, I love also how the old cottages, peep through the bare trees, usually with their gutters full of leaves - best to wait till all the trees have finished though before cleaning them properly, it’s just the best season, but then so is spring I don’t know which is my favourite ❤️🍃🍂🍁🍁🍁🍄

Here is dear old Downderry in all her autumn glory. Nearly all the old trees have finished but the splendid copper beech is just starting. Autumn in Bickleigh Vale is a beautiful treat!
