Autumn Mists and Mellow Fruitfullness....

As I drove through the Devonshire countryside yesterday my thoughts turned to the richness of Autumn with all its majestic colours about me with the fruit trees absolutely laden with wonderfully huge scarlet and golden apples hanging on the trees. Pears too, the biggest I have ever seen. One tree reminded me of the Nursery Rhyme "I had a little nut tree nothing would it bear, but a silver nutmeg and a golden pear". The pears were shining a beautiful rustic gold in the heat of the Autumn sun. Even the Farmers were taking advantage of the good weather that had been bestowed upon them, busying themselves with the last of the haymaking. It seems they have been lucky this year with two cuts, so the animals will be well fed this year.

With these thoughts, and sights, I remembered a saying that my Dad used to say, and which I had only repeated until now, never questioning where the words came from. Today I have found out where, and this is where my title for my blog has come from. A poem "To Autumn" by the famous poet John Keats. Obviously my Dad must have learned this poem at school, since I can never remember him reading poetry otherwise.
