Dateline September 2000
September 15th
A dull day with rain threatening for most of it, although medium drizzle was as bad as it got. Here and there are pioneer trees turning yellow, showing the rest the way to go. The bracken is in two minds. Some of it a deep gold brown, some of it still as green as ever.;
September 14th
A morning of mist patches blanketing north Argyll. One end of Connel bridge in the mist, the other in bright sunshine. Once the mist burned off, a sunny day with the brambles taking full advantage of it to turn from red to the deep purple of ripeness.
September 10th
Some heavy showers ad longer spell so frain are beginning to appear. Fortunately the heaviest rain has tended to be overnight, but there have been a couple of bedragged days.
September 4th
The relatively fine weather continues, despite the odd shower. The bracken turns increasingly golden, and the hours of daylight are shrinking ever faster.
