FOLKLORE FLASHBACK #6 - Autumn Harvest


Welcome gentle reader to another roundup of older posts and jottings from the archives of Folklore on Friday. Now although the temperature is warm, the nights are arriving a sooner, and  as I write I can see the first patches of yellow and amber dappling the treetops and there's a hint of woodsmoke in the air.

Yes,  autumn is coming, that season of mists and mellow fruitfulness as Mr Keats so memorably put it. So then, I present for you a little trio of scribblings  of on Autumnal lore...

First up we learn of folklore of falling leaves -
