WUNDERLI WANDERINGS

Today marks 12 months since we arrived in Scotland from Australia.   The temperature difference was a shock to the system.   Even one year on there is a thick frost outside and the current temperature is -4c.  We have definitely shifted from Autumn into Winter.  Now that we have completed 12 months in Scotland, we have experienced each of the seasons.   One season that surprised me with its beauty was Autumn.  I realised that it had been over 20 years since I watched the leaves turn from green to varying degrees of yellow, orange and red.  Some of the scenes were quite spectacular.
