Season change As I write this, the sun is beating down and there isn't a cloud in the sky. However, do not be deceived! The nights are pulling in and it is now dark in the morning when I have to catch an early bus. I think God has got it just right - four different seasons and constant change throughout the year. I know that "Global Warming" is making our weather more changeable and unpredictable, but I like variety and, the UK is the best place to witness it. The sun still affects our lives in many ways. As a grower, at this time of year, I can't just pop down the allotment after a heavy dinner and a nap anymore. Get there by 8 o'clock and it is getting dark already. This is a problem for someone like me who is still catching up on jobs to do and the growing season. I will soon be picking beans by torchlight. At least you can still enjoy a good bonfire when the sun goes down. I am still catching up, clearing the undergrowth and burning the long grass and other weeds. My courgettes have gone absolutely mad. They are growing like triffids and taking over about a third of the plot. Whether they produce any fruit remains to be seen. Talking of triffids, have you noticed a rather boring looking "shrub" gradually infiltrating our green areas. I am referring to the Japanese Knotweed. Those who do the Five Weirs Walk will have noticed, that in parts you can't see the river for this intrusive monster. And, Bad News! It has reached the allotments. It is now just outside the gate and, in time, will spread. It grows 4 inches a day and the Council won't touch it because of the cost of effective weedkiller. You have been warned! So, Autumn is heading our way - we are getting less Light and more Dark. Less daylight to get gardening jobs done, but more darkness to spend doing other things - I am of course referring to reading and other indoor pursuits. God gives us a balance. He gives us a wonderful spread of seasons, a mix of Light and Dark, warmth when needed, rainfall when needed and we can rejoice and thank Him. So when that old lady in the bus queue moans about the nights pulling in and the rain, just remind her how lucky she is. She is part of God's creation and should be shouting from the (wet) rooftops about it. If this doesn't work, tell her you'll introduce Japanese Knotweed in her back garden!
