The Leaves Have Begun To Fall

We have lots of very large trees surrounding our garden - none of which actually belong to us, there all in neighbouring gardens. Every year the inevitable happens and we spend hours raking up leaves. Good things come out of it though as we bag them all up and chuck them behind the shed and the next year we have our own mulch for the flower beds and veggie patch.
