First weekend in October was unusually cold. The whole week was cold. Even had overnight frost. Perfect weekend to head to Orust and the summer house. Light a fire and open a good bottle of wine.

Woke to a sunny Saturday morning. Lovely with hot coffee, a warm fire and a very slow start to the day.

A pleasant surprise when Nicolina and Mathilda turn up. They have come to make us dinner, a present I got on my birthday back in May. We take a walk down to nabbarna and the girls pick chantarelles for the dinners entré. The leaves have started to turn and particularly the maple trees are on fire.
