I am enjoying the late Summer sun and the breeze outside (although the office temperature is quite unbearable). The changes to Autumn march on despite the deception of the heat.
This conker was spotted on on a white horse chestnut tree in Russell Park this morning - the sun shining upon it. The tree was planted as a memorial to Anne Frank in 2000. I wondered why this was an appropriate memorial and after a bit of digging found this:
In her diary, Anne mentions the horse chestnut tree that she can see from her attic window several times. On the 23rd Febuary 1944, six months before her secret hideout was discovered:
"From my favourite spot on the floor, I look up and see the blue sky and bare chestnut tree on whose branches little raindrops shine, appearing like silver, and the seagulls and other birds as they glide on the wind. When I looked outside and into the depth of nature and God, I was happy, really happy."
@helenacharles Autumn has most definitely arrived but there were throwbacks to summer over the weekend too. perfect. Thank you Helen for continuing to look in and comment.
