What happened to traditional autumnal events...

[Tony]

... this year, like leaves and things falling off trees?

Oak trees seem to be extremely reluctant to let go of their leaves, some near here still have green leaves.

There's also an apple tree which I walk past on the way home still covered in apples - no leaves this time just shed loads of apples.

Odd innit :wha:

It is very odd.
Not seen the oaks, but have an apple tree I can see here from my office window that is still absolutely chock full with apples.

Just thought I'd resurrect this post with a pic I took yesterday... (16 December) I'm sure when I was a lad leaves had turned brown and buggered off by this time of the year.

Must be global warming :whistle:

Loughborough is dusted with snow, and I think all the leaves are gone...

 

[Wendy1971]

leaves are gone now after all the snow and frost we had

 

[Tony]

We've had some snow and plenty of frost .. it's hardly tropical here .... but these leaves are refusing to die .. could be zombie leaves I suppose :shock:

The climbing Rose that i planted 3 years ago is flowering and has about 5 dozen new buds on it :shock: i can't believe it after snow & frosts combined with prolonged low temps(not that i'm a rose expert). :hmm:

The only people who still do any of that, stuff are Hugh Fernley Whittingstall & Rick Stein.

I kind of like the idea of it in a way. When I go to Germany and look at their festivals, they are really good fun. UK ones are just wet and miserable and full of crap games, crapper food and no drink. When there is any drink it is either vile concoctions or baileys hot chocolate, which lets face it, itsn't exactly right.
