Is this winter at last?

After weeks of the most brilliant sunshine and warm temperatures - with thick fog either in the valleys (see photo) or on the mountaintops, we have finally had some rain. A storm woke us in the middle of the night, causing us to crawl bleary-eyed from bed to unplug the computers, phones, and TV aerial. It's still really warm, though and I cannot remember ever lasting through to November without needing a duvet on the bed. Sunshine is forecast for the rest of the week, though, and news of low temperatures in Britain makes us feel very lucky to be in Corfu in November!
