Wales was beautiful as always, damp and green with lovely autumn leaves turning deep orange and red. Gardens with grassy paths and a cold grey lake surrounded by marshy land, mud and cranberry plants.
Le Pays de Galles était toujours beau, humide et vert avec des belles feuilles d'automne qui tournent en orange et rouge foncé. Des jardins avec leurs allées herbeuses et un lac froid et gris entouré de marécage, de boue et de canneberges.

As soon as we arrived home in Gabian we were eager to see how the garden was. Our neighbour would have watered if needed, but he didn't have to. We were pleased to find tomatoes still ripening, as well as peppers, courgettes, and one aubergine.

and a basket of tomatoes, peppers, courgettes and an aubergine
