I love autumn. It has arrived in my garden. The summery flowers are going over. The changes in leaf colour are taking over. II shall look for the Matsuo Basho book. I fell in love with Haiku while doing @bethkempton writing courses.

It’s a really lovely book - he writes so evocatively. I’m sure your garden is looking beautiful during the change over. 🍂

That sounds like perfect restorative cup of tea!

It was honestly wonderful and all the better for being unexpectedly so.

Ahh, I just ended August by celebrating the 150 year young town where my Mum was born. The day ended in the most spectacular fire work show. Feeling very happy.

Hi! I so loved reading your glimmers for this month! I've been seeing the fading beauty all around me and it's bittersweet as Summer has only been properly Summering in August, to know she's already getting ready to leave? It feels too soon. I LOVE your photo of London! It's perfect 🥰 And the Poetry Pharmacy? I've added it on my list to see myself for my London trip, because that's brilliant concept!

As for my glimmers, I've been loving the sunlight in my room when I wake up in the morning. Settling on a train trip to the Black Forest with my sister is another. No idea what to expect, but I'm so looking forward to be amongst nature soon! ✨🚂

Hi! You should definitely visit - it’s the most wonderful place. And a trip to the Black Forest sounds incredible. I’ve just been in Northern Germany (Hamburg) and off to Ghent and Bruges tomorrow. Such an amazing part of the world.

I'm looking forward to seeing it for real soon! And your trip sounds amazing! 🥰 How many cities will you visit? Ghent and Bruges were on my list for this year, but ended up going to Antwerp instead, haha. I will share photos from my trip when I can! ✨🌳

Just the three this time but can’t wait to come back and explore some more. Wanted to get to Antwerp too but we ran out of time. More to add to the list!!

A poetry pharmacy? What a fantastic concept! August weather in Minnesota has been just spectacular; just enough hot days, plenty of perfect Summer sunshine, blue skies, breeziness and languid warmth that segues in to cool night full of crickets and owls calling out from the treetops. We had two very powerful thunderstorms this past week with a deluge of rain that keeps everything lush and green. It's been a delightful month.

The poetry pharmacy how wonderful! I need to check that out this Autumn for sure. I feel the same about sleep. I am ready for the cooler nights and longer evenings!
