Autumn is in New Zealand

The pin oak trees in our neighbourhood are starting to look really stunning with their autumn shades of oranges, rusts and reds - although they are young trees, the spectacle which they put on is still impressive - we can only imagine how stunning this area will be years from now when the trees grow to be enormous and then don their colours.
Our evenings and early mornings are chilly most days now and some days - cold. This morning we had our first taste of the mist which we hear is pretty common, but which we hadn't seen before today - not an all-encompassing white blanket, but enough to give the world a sort of silent and mysterious feel about it!
Now we are just nipping out to the Kirby agency to pick up a couple of spares for the second hand (or should I say previously un-loved since it was so filthy) vacuum cleaner - will continue this blog entry later when Jo is busy mowing the lawn which we want to do before they come to collect the wheelie bin tomorrow!
