The Heap of Leaves

I remember when I was young and carefree, I loved nothing better in the autumn than destroying neatly piled heaps of leaves that were ready for collecting … much to the annoyance of whoever it was was putting them together. It’s nice to know that even in these days of every sort of imaginable toy, that some of the biggest enjoyment that children can get is from having free open spaces …. and heaps of leaves to go mad with. The best things in life are free.

Sorry again that it’s sidewards. It’s my niece last week on a few days here where she has more space than she could dream about. Sometimes she doesn’t know what to do with it all and is overwhelmed by it. Anyway, and she spotted the camera half way through … and then I threw leaves at her … but ah, it doesn’t matter. She was enjoying herself.
