Autumn

On Friday I arrived at my desk to find more than post-its. Each desk in the department had been adorned with a little conker....made out of chocolate and marzipan! It was someone else's birthday, but we got given presents?! Maybe it is worth working after all...

Twice a day, between tram stop and destination I wade through an autumn detritus and have to restrain myself from arriving at work with a pocketful of acorns and berries. I found this little gift particularly exciting and touching. And delicious.

Having survived a tram ride home it was a little squished by the time it made it in front of the camera and into my tummy.

Understandably I spent little time on its photoshoot...by 5pm I was greatly regretting my decision to hold off eating it until after I'd shown it to my godmother.
