First person to make a smutty joke about this sentence gets a weeks ban. No, actually, gets a week of reading the Transfer Window thread.

We planted three fruit trees last December and prayed that they would survive. The apple tree, to our amazement produced blossom and then fruit! Sadly, all the fruit was affected by a blight and we ended with nothing. But, roll on next autumn and we'll be picking our won! (The other two are plum and pear)

The beautiful colours of the trees ( although half of the leaves seemed to have been fried in the sun this year).

Many many years ago it would have been the start of the football season, but that seems to happen earlier every year.
