Yesterday was a beautiful clear sunny day - a perfect day for a walk down a country lane. Autumn is here but still plenty of leaves on the trees.

Will the ash trees survive the ash dieback disease back that threatens them? Will they disappear in the same way that elm trees did back in the 1970s and 80s when Dutch elm disease swept across the country? We have a lot more ash trees than we ever had elms so the effect could be devastating. Enjoy them while you can.
