Mary

Thank you for the link. Such a wealth of knowledge out there. I think this is where wisdom comes with age. The older I become, the more I realize just how little I know.

Nan

Thank you for leading me there! I clicked on Ralph Vaughan Williams on his sidebar and read the most wonderful piece on All Saints' Day (and I sang along). Oh, it makes me so happy that such people exist in the world. I added the blog to my blog list. Thanks again!

Cornflower

You're right, Mary, there's so much to learn!

Cornflower

You're welcome, Nan!
It's wonderful that people such as Eleanor share their knowledge so generously (and in such an accessible manner).

I was saying to my husband how like Autumn the garden felt and then opened my Twitter account to find Eleanor's link to her post. I think it was Susan Hill who said that many people find they prefer Spring as they get older but for myself I find Autumn is a time I enjoy but it is Winter I adore - most probably because the comforts of the modern world allow us to embrace that season!
