Autumn on the Dordogne



chilly mornings

Autumn is here and it feels like winter isn't far away.The temperature is dropping quickly these days. Two weeks ago it reached 20 degrees in the afternoon, now it’s 12. The mornings are frosty, the leaves are turning red and gold and then dropping en masse. Everyday there is someone nearby pollarding a tree and today the commune workers were up on their cherrypicker hanging the Christmas lights in the streets. Can the Christmas markets be far behind ? 

Just sharing some of the seasonal sights with you ....

Cooking lots of soups and casseroles and baking now in the mornings, and raking leaves and pruning when the afternoons warm up a little. Looking forward to putting up our christmas decorations soon and making that christmas cake. What about you ?
