| Throwing up leaves |
The colours of Autumn have taken over and we’ve had some lovely walks where Amelia and Noah have had great fun crunching through the fallen leaves and throwing them up in the air. Browns, reds, oranges and yellows are everywhere. It’s not something we experience in Perth and it takes us back to our childhoods in England and Poland, it’s really beautiful.

| Along the river |
People have seasonal decorations on their front windows and all types of pumpkins in every shade of orange adorning their steps. The kids are coming home with conkers and pine cones and hedgehog art that they’ve collected and done at kindy. And people are binding up their trees in the garden in preparation for winter snow, so that the trees don’t get crushed by the snow we presume!

| Where's Wally? |
Speaking of snow, there’s no sign of it. It’s been gloriously sunny the last few weeks. Once the morning is over that is. Maciek has been riding to work in -4 degrees and working outside in freezing temperatures one day, and basking in 27 degrees tiling away with a view of the Wilder Kaiser the next! And before Maciek splashed out on a proper ice scraper, I’ve been hacking away at the frozen windscreen with a wooden spatula before driving the kids to school!
Just to explain one of the pics, on a walk along the river one a

| Rusty Halo? |
fternoon, we found a halo of autumn leaves that someone had made and kindly left on a bench for me to model!
And last but not least, but nothing at all to do with Autumn, I’ve included a picture of two packets of tea I bought recently, and wanted to ask my Dad if this is one of the new businesses he is dabbling in???

ReplyDeleteWell blow me down with a feather who would have thought it, now we have Perkins Tea to add to our famous name.
Looks a great Autumn Mel, ah yes the conkers, they bring back memories. The simple things in life, just can't beat it. Mind you I also remember scraping the ice off the car windcreen every morning, then going to work and not being able to close finger and thumb to hold a nail, yes those were the days. :-)
Love and miss you all

Autumn is really beautiful this year, is not always like that, normally during this time of year we had already a lot of rain, rain and rain again.. not this year. It's really lovely to still be able to play outside when the fog is finally gone. I hope that you're ready for winter meanwhile, winter tires set on your car? and by the way, a visa or master card is also a perfect tool to scrap the ice off the car windscreen ;) I hope that we'll find a weekend to visit you in Austria. My belly gets bigger and bigger and time flies.... and nice to hear that the children enjoy the kindy that much!! love and kisses Monika and the boys (Big and small)
ReplyDeleteHi Grubs
ReplyDeleteIt all looks amazing and lovely scenery too, I love autumn too with all the colours, reminds me of collecting conkers and acorns as a kid in England.....ah memories haha
The kids look like they are having a ball playing in all the leaves, wait for the snow they will love it :-)
Can't you get anti-freeze in the cans to spray on your windscreen to melt the ice?, we used to use it in England, works a treat!!
don't put hot water on or you will crack your windscreen :-/
Love the new tea brand haha must try it!
take care and talk soon
love and kisses
