Hello Autumn

It was like that here the other day - and yesterday afternoon was positively nippy!
Yes nice sunset time here. OH took this just as we were saying goodnight to everyone.
No, there is something wrong with it isn't there?! A couple of weeks back I took Storm out at five thirty and that felt weird. It was light enough (just).
At the risk of thread hi jacking - anyone else thinking already about lights / torches etc? I can't face another winter with a torch stuck in my mouth! 
Have you not got a head torch that goes on your hat?At the risk of thread hi jacking - anyone else thinking already about lights / torches etc? I can't face another winter with a torch stuck in my mouth!
It's not hi jacking, it's all relative to Autumn.
I made a tweak to my getting up because I can. But I still think our life shouldn't start before the sun. Nature doesn't.

I'm going to get a head torch this winter - my previous experience with one wasn't too good - so I'm going to pay a bit more, and stock up on batteries.
Lol yes I'm all for life not starting before the sun comes up !!!
I am just feeling behind this year. I needed another few weeks of summer.
Well it may be autumn but this was a lovely skyline last night - just before tucking everyone up.
And Storm on her way in. (She isn't really that big...............)
Me either, but I've already been doing it for a couple of weeks
I prefer early mornings to being out in the dark in the evenings, less weird people around at 5am than 8pm
Just as the sun was peaking it's head up this morning
I have several torches @Trewsers, a big heavy Maglight with holster (for safety + light) and it is the best in term of reach, I can see 2 fields over with it easily. A little Surefire tactical light which is incredibly light, bright for short range and pocket sized and I have a Petzl headlight which I spent birthday money on last year, a bit more pricey than my previous ones but is very good, does flood or spotlight and has different brightness settings, I use it mainly on the low setting and get months out of each set of batteries (I think I only replaced them twice last year).
I hate being out that early though. I always think the dog walkers, joggers etc find all the dead bodies.
I'd rather find the dead body than be oneI hate being out that early though. I always think the dog walkers, joggers etc find all the dead bodies.
honestly where I live is not that bad, it's statistically one of the safest parts of the country, I just seem to always have the bad luck to run into weirdo's
When I was doing the haymaking the other week down at the park some lovely people came out and offered the services. They actually said they were concerned for my safety late at night when they saw I had a ponytail. I told them I had steel toe cap boots and a tractor capable of protecting me. It's a nasty piece of town known for it's bad sorts. Fortunately it's only a once a year job and live nowhere near it. But after the people told me that I dont think I'd want to be out early morning or late.
Yet I think nothing of being out early where I live. I use to think nothing of night time either but nighttime can be a bit more risky these days as we are starting to get the wrong sort venturing with there illegal drugs.

This morning was super dark here, and to top it off when I walked out of the house even the street lights hadn't yet come on I'm ready for the dark to be over before it's even really begun.
