The welcome party...
(for the workers)
Bingley and Darcy
It is (supposedly) .. early Autumn here in Oxfordshire, in dare I say, dear old foggy damp Britain...?!!
...But something quite wonderful has occurred!
A most unseasonable warmth and sunshine and HEAT... through morning to night.
... indeed weather record books have been broken!
We all stayed outside till late...
... a glass of wine ...
... some eating ...
... a squeezing of every last drop from a most lovely and surprisingly barmy October eveining..
Bingley (too dark for Mrs H's camera)
"Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood"
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
