Country Nights

Autumn is well and truly settled in here in Kyneton. Plenty of Ash's turning their beautiful strong shades. Not allot of news here from 'sleepy hollow'. The natives are friendly, and the weather has been at its best ( beside the perennial lack of rain ). Last weekend was spent poking around the area, as well a a trip to Red Beards in Trentham, and a wander past our little plot of land.
Days consist of me working, either here or in the city, Champs looking out for the Otis, who is about as predictable as a greyhound. In her spare moments, walking cooking, and befriending the native fruit, flour, wine, coffee, book & meat sellers. She has been cooking, and made the most amazing apple tea cake today ( very CWA ), which was dismembered well before I thought to take a photo.
A couple of the photo's attached are from this evenings walk. There was a beautiful autumn chill in the air. The sun was setting, and all was nice and peaceful. The exact moments, I think, that we have come here to experience. The more time we're spending here the more it fits. Hope all is well. x J
