Enjoying the last vestiges of Autumn

The days are getting shorter and colder. Winter will be knocking at the door soon, but until then I’m enjoying the last vestiges of Autumn. I love the rich pickings that nature offers in Autumn to bring the outdoors indoors, even in the city: colourful leaves, acorns and chestnuts, pine cones.

There’s a magnificent tree in the front gardens of the Jewish Museum Berlin – which we like to pretend are our gardens, since we don’t have one of our own – which throws off more pine cones than you could carry.

Well, after we were done with it, there wasn’t much left to carry – we filled a whole box full! Now we haven’t just brought nature indoors, but also the museum. Just perfect!
