For years I would see plastic hands for gathering autumn leaves in the catalogues and didn't buy them as I would only need them for a few weeks a year. Then a few years ago I got them and wished I'd got them sooner.
This year I at last got round to tidying my shed and found today that I had moved the hands from near the door. Blocked by the wormery by the door and bags of twigs from my neighbour's ashtree and bushes (for kindling) I can't see where I put them or easily get near the back to look. So I used a small handtool and my hands.
Whilst scooping up leaves I saw there was some fruit on my autumn raspberries, so I put the bucket down and picked and ate about 10 fruits. Came back and couldn't find the bucket!
I have a small garden, and was anyway only a few pacss away from the raspberry canes when I put the bucket down. It had seemly disappeared through a hole in the space/time continium (the one that often follows me around). Finally I saw it. From above a bucket full of autumn leaves standing on autumn leaves is very well camoflaged!
Along the road to the east of me are some plane trees - the leaves are really large this year. Is this the result of the wet summer?
