An October Walk in Normandy

This year the Autumn colours have taken their time to materialise but are now really good.  Did you know that it is the summer weather that affects how much autumn glory we see?  You can read why on this post - Why some Autumns have better colours than others.   The fruits are fabulous too so I wonder if that means we are in for a hard winter?  Who knows but for now please enjoy my pictures all taken on a short walk from the gite. 

How is autumn looking where you are and what weather do you think we will get this winter?
