I went for a walk at Holland Park to enjoy the autumn colors. It is a relatively small park compared to more famous garden, for instance Hyde Park or Regents Park, but has many attractions including an orangery, a playing field for children, a cricket pitch, tennis courts and so on. Among them, I like the Japanese-style Kyoto garden. There is a pond with colored carps, an artificial hill and a waterfall. It is compact but the beautiful landscape makes me relaxed.

ノッティングヒルにも近い閑静な住宅地にあるホランドパークには、京都庭園という名の日本庭園があります。そう広くないスペースながら、錦鯉の泳ぐゆったりした池があり、築山や滝もあり、週末は家族連れなどで賑わっています。知り合いが送ってくれた日本の雑誌POPEYE によれば、ここはポール・スミス氏もお気に入りの公園なのだとか。10月半ばのお天気の良かった休日、夫とふたりで散歩に出かけました。美しい孔雀が数羽そぞろ歩くのは、（日本と言うより）東洋のイメージでしょうか。空間とのコンビネーションに目を奪われます。

One of the most useful clothes I have bought in London is a John Smedley easy fit knitwear. I like its looser and relaxed silhouette and enjoy it through all seasons. Actually, it is easy to coordinate with other items because it is basic and simple. The price is not affordable for me but as you know, the quality is fine and it is very comfortable. I think it is worth buying. I want to add a same item of a different color in my wardrobe this autumn.

I feel that the sun's rays and the wind are announcing that summer is coming to an end. The days also are getting shorter. But we still have time to enjoy green of the trees in a park.
I like to take walks in the gentle sunlight.

I think I become more sensitive to the change of the seasons as I get older. It is just a little sad that bright summer days will end soon but Autumn is also a beautiful season. I want to enjoy a nip of Autumn in the air.

I like farmers' markets. Also in Tokyo, similar markets are held several times a month but  they are small scale and not so common. In London, farmers' markets are held in various places　on a daily basis. I am happy that I can buy good local products easily at reasonable prices.

Finding lovely homemade products and seasonable foods is a lot of fun. If I want to have a gorgeous dinner I only have to grill steak meat and vegetables direct from the farm. My husband like fresh pasta with basil paste, both home-made. It's good to buy jam, juice and cakes with plenty of seasonal fruit for breakfast or afternoon tea. Of course I love wild flowers bouquets.

I am looking forward to next season market!
