    Roland hasn’t cut the grass here for more than 6 weeks, as Hosta says, saves on petrol.

    Growing up in south East England, I noticed quite early in life that in September, the weather usually gets cooler then warms up again.  I always booked a week's leave the third week of September and rarely was it cold or wet.

    Hubby had jeans, t shirt and a sweatshirt on yesterday morning. I was very brave in t shirt and shorts, coz I'm dead butch.
