I’ve been home for about 30 minutes and, after drinking a pipping hot cup of tea, I’m finally defrosted … what? Oh, okay, so I wasn’t frozen solid, just merely in a frigid state of shivers. It’s a brisk 13 degrees out there and not going to get much higher today, so we’re told. And even though the sun is shining in a clear blue sky, there’s a chilly wind blowing off Churchill Bay.

Autumn has definietly arrived early this year.
