Fishnets and rosehips

Today has confirmed that it is time to open up the winter wardrobe, banish the flip flops, pull on the fishnets and slip into ballet pumps. O to have realised this before leaving the house. The table has also taken on an autumnal feel, rosehips and skimmia combine with hot pink roses and freesias. Soon we will be carving pumpkins, the gin will be usurped by mulled wine, and everywhere you go someone will try and foist a wretched mince pie on you. (the pastry/ filling ratio is just wrong) we really should get a wriggle on with deciding on Christmas schemes, could it be true that taupe is the new tartan?! The Hound, a little exhausted from sleeping all day has requested a supper of coffee and walnut cake.
