First day of winter... it wasn't good!!

Had something to do in Chelmsford today.  Left Harlow in brilliant sunshine (after having scrapped the snow of the car) and arrived in... yup...rain!!  Deed done I headed off for Audley End... the weather started to improve but by the time I got out of the car, the clouds had come over again and the wind was whipping the leaves about and very very cold!

Had a wander, sheltered under some trees and the rain lashed down, and then decided some lunch would warm me.

The first picture of the cricket has nothing to do with today... I found this on the rear window of the car when I arrived at my mother's the other day.. no idea it was there or for how long a journey it had had!

And some Autumn colour at Audley...

Tomorrow will be musical... IF the weather's kind, we might even get some more autumn colour in the London parks!!
