The leaves on the trees are changing colour. The leaves on Grandpa's tree are turning red. The temperatures are still warm, 24 predicted for the weekend, frost normally in October. I have started to cut the hedge in the Orchard and am suffering from the thorn pricks on my hands which have turned septic. I had to give up after doing 3/4 of the hedge as I was suffering from blisters on my hand wich popped. I have bought 4 Hebe plants to plant under Grandpa's tree in between the Hostas I planted earlier.
