There’s always one day in October that epitomises that golden sense of the final goodbye to the summer for another year.
A visit to Grange always entails a short collie-walk in the Park Road Gardens, which are beautifully kept and a treat for any season. Tess is nearly eleven, and such strolls are ideal for her ageing joints…

Today was it, and we were lucky enough to be doing the weekly shop in Grange-over-Sands when the sun burst through with all its October mellowness, lighting not only the pale greens of the departing leaves, but also the seemingly endless carpet of gold beneath.
The winter is just around the corner, of course. But this immersion in glorious gold is very welcome!
