Autumn has come!

This morning my north facing, single-glazed bathroom window had condensation. My north-facing double-glazed bedroom window was steamed up, but my other windows were fine (forgot to check the conservatory windows).

I left on my bike at 9am in a long-sleeved top in a thick material, but was glad I had put my winter bike jacket in my saddle bag, as I soon stopped to put that on, plus the gloves in the pocket. Back by 10.30, and, although much warmer, I didn't feel hot.

My garden at 8 am looked as if there had been a heavy dew. By the time I got to the Lea Valley, along by the west side of the old Essex filter beds, the grass in places was white. The Navigation was steaming - so the water was presumably warmer than the air. There didn't seem much rubbish in the water. Denis at my kayak club claims it sinks in cold weather, and I suspect he is right,

I went down the Navigation, half way along the Hertford Union, round the east of Victoria Park and back, a route I haven't done since the Spring.

The leaves are beginning to turn, but no real autumn colour yet.
