Last weekend was a day longer, because Ian had a day off from school for Columbus Day, and Steve had off for Canadian Thanksgiving. We took some lovely day trips around our northern section of Jersey. The leaves haven’t started changing yet, but there are little peaks of orange and red in the distance.
