Lynch Court. Someone (me) had carelessly left his car in front of our house.In front of Lynch Court is also a dawn redwood, related to the California redwood and giant sequoia, They are conifer trees but drops its needles every autumn. To the very left of the picture is a false acacia tree.
Autumnal weather in the Welsh Marches can be disappointing, so when the sun came out and the leaves had started to take on the yellow and orange hues, I grabbed the camera for a very short walk along our field and our neighbour’s woodland.

Our neighbours, Rowena and David, have their horses in our field sometimes. To keep on friendly terms with them (the horses!) I bring some carrots on my walks, but this day they were not here, and the carrots remained in my pocket during the walk
Here I have crossed into David and Row’s woodland. The walks were covered in a mat of yellow, orange and red leaves, with the sun breaking through the lime trees (linden trees) here and there. On the left picture the lime trees are covered in ivy
Rose hips
Sweetgum tree that takes on a the colours of orange, crimson and purple in the autumn. The leaves have been this colourful for a month now.This tree bordered the alleyway that was the original entrance drive to Lynch Court, when it was one large farm
And back at Lynch Court. The wall is part of the Victorian ha-ha that is the border between our garden and fields. [I recommend my non-English followers, who may not know what a ha-ha is, to google it, as a ha-ha is such a typical English landscape feature]
