Autumn is officially here, breathe it in.
Time to step outside, whether you are walking a leaf-strewn path or finding a quiet spot to sketch the changing light, nature has a way of restoring something in us that the busy world takes away. Make the most of March when Couldrey House is open everyday from 1-4pm.
Lace up your boots. Pick up your pencil. Let the season find you. 🍂

AUTUMN SONG by KATHERINE MANSFIELD
Now's the time when children's noses
All become as red as roses
And the colour of their faces
Makes me think of orchard places
Where the juicy apples grow,
And tomatoes in a row.

Come then, find your ball and racket,
Pop into your winter jacket,
With the lovely bear-skin lining.
While the sun is brightly shining,
Let us run and play together
And just love the autumn weather.
