Crispy leaves and toasty chestnuts



The other day OH and I had a lovely walk in the woods gathering chestnuts we have now roasted and scoffed. I took some lovely photos of golden leaved trees, and had not got around to downloading them 'til now. It was a great walk, you know, where you kick all the leaves up in the air with your feet and make a really good rustly, scrunchy noise, then you go OW! because you have kicked a flippin' great lump of granite.
I love autumn colours, all rich and golden, and when it's a nice dry day it is glorious.
We have had a few days of heavy frosts, and our chickens, like Breezy's have been looking very sorry for themselves. Ours have a warm spagetti breakfast, but I think they need a bit more sustanance than corn and laying pellets. I think a big sack of wheat is on the cards for them and a few few bigs tins of cheapie cat food.

You'll have them bullying the cats again feeding them cat food!

Misty and one of the chooks were sharing a dish of cat food this morning! They weren't so keen on their pasta today.
