I promised some autumn
pics of Haslemere. Unfortunately my computer has packed up again.
We had a power surge the other evening just after I had loaded them
up and deleted them from my camera. So they are lost to me for the
moment. I have two fuses and a surge protector between the mains and
the computer and one of the fuses duly blew, but still the computer
wouldn't restart. I suspect it is also in the autumn of the computer's years.
The annoying thing about the laptop though is the extreme
sensitivity of the mouse. I have just downloaded an unwanted
photograph as my desktop theme for example simply by touching the
mouse area too firmly (apparently). I have now had to waste about 15
minutes changing it back.
Incidentally, it's not just the
leaves that have benefited from the wet summer this year; there have
been an extraordinary variety of fungi. Whilst battling with the
infestations in my garden, I have enjoyed seeing the examples I come
across in the woods and fields around here. Here are a couple from today.
Anyway, to give you a
flavour of the colours this year, below are a collection of pics from this weekend from
Ramster, a house and garden in Haslemere open to the public a couple
of times a year, and the Winkworth arboretum in Godalming.
