what's to come

I managed to fit in an hour's gardening before work this morning, and noticed that there were a few very autumnal-looking leaves on the grass.

Today is Back To School Day in Scotland and on Facebook there were a lot of photos of friends' children looking smart in their new uniform, some very sweet-looking and just about to begin Primary One, with many years of school ahead of them, and I hope they enjoy the experience. 

The days of seeing my three off on the big yellow bus every morning are long gone, but Eldest Son begins his college course this morning and I'm just as proud and pleased as I was on his first day at school.
