Friday 28th March – start of Autumn

Flying home from Wellington, I can see the changing colours of the countryside. The poplars have been turning gold since late February but the oaks are now turning red.

The grapes have mostly been picked and the apples are being picked these days.

Later on the grapes will turn gold and red. The peach and apple trees will turn gold.

The swallows have mostly gone to. It is a puzzle to me why they actually leave as Hawkes Bay winter is generally warmer than an Irish or a Scottish summer…

Autumn is my favourite season in Hawke’s Bay.
