Summer Leaves

Today, for the first time in months I've had to put a jumper on. It's a sure sign the summer is on it's way out. I can see the leaves on the trees turning colour and there's already a large patch of them on the grass in my garden.

For me, all the seasons bring things I like and some things I don't. I like autumn because of the array of colours the landscape gives off. Leaves crunch under your feet as you go for a walk and you have to wrap up that little bit more.

In just over 4 weeks time, October, as a member of the autumn season, indicates the yearly venture of styling the bum fluff on our faces. October heralds Beards 2003. Without a doubt, Phil was the worthy winner last year with a goatee that was marvelled and respected by all. Even continuing with the facial hair for far longer than the stipulated one month period. There were also a few noted absentees from the event...you know who you are. I expect better this year.
