I had a couple of beautiful apples off a tree outside a farm near to Harewood House, they werent a typical English variety, it appeared to be a Jonagold type apple. I wish I could have picked some more but the guy with a shotgun made me think twice. Still loads of blackberries to be had but I'm inclined to agree with Barfly, if I eat another blackberry pie I could burst, but I've got plenty in the freezer for when I get my appetite for them back.

It's been a very late Autumn this year, the colours still very vibrant even after the first snow we had a few nights ago. I bet the fruit crop must have been a bumper harvest this year?Autumns seem to come very late in the last few years, from what I recall most of the trees used to be totally bare by Bonfire Night?

It's so true Phill that trees do seem to be losing leaves later each year. I've noticed again this autumn that most trees near where I live still have masses of leaves on them and few have any real glorious autumnal colours (I do miss the glorious shades of red). The cold spell will presumably now rapidly enhance leaf fall.PS. There are still lots of apples on some trees and masses on the ground. Probably because of the glut of apples this year there are lots of trees that I never knew were apple trees!

It was well into Autumn, but hardly any colour on the trees. I was going to say give it another 2 weeks and those trees will be a lovely colour. I'd have been wrong, give it another month more like. The Horse Chestnut trees seem to be the only trees that turn colour the same time every year, the second half of September and you see them start to them change without fail
