As the Summer seems to be on the turn towards Autumn I celebrate green leaves while I can. Being inspired by my paper manipulation history I played with slotting and folding to entertain the smaller members of the family while enjoying the garden.

A short trip to the allotment this morning also enabled us to gather Autumn raspberries – yes, the clue is in the name. At least the sweet peas are still flowering as the slugs eat my harvest of carrots, onions, parsnips and beetroot! Now I’m not sure that would be worth getting the sketchbook out for!
