It's beginning to look a lot like...

...early spring? Indian summer? Anything but Christmas! At highs between 15 - 18° C. I don't feel at all like decorating for the season, though it's high (oops - sorry about the pun) time I get started. But when roses, lavender and geraniums are still blooming outside, and autumn leaves tenaciously hang onto tree branches, dreams of a white Christmas are far away.

It's inevitable though - Christmas markets are being set up in cities everywhere. Our local one includes a skating rink that will be an attraction throughout the coming month. It's going to take an awful lot of energy to keep that ice frozen...
