Everywhere and I mean everywhere leaves are falling down causing a nuisance. Like giant dandruff they drop all over pavements, cars, train tracks and roofs leaving a right mess. And it’s dangerous too. When wet they are right slippery. I don’t like them much and will be glad when they’ve all dropped and been tidied up. Some may argue that they are pretty. So what? How can looks matter when health and safety and convenience are concerned? How shallow can you get? Others may argue that falling leaves is a part of autumn and that a walk in forest in November wouldn’t be the same without them. Hello!? What about non-deciduous trees. They cause no trouble at all. And being mostly lovely and green what’s not to like? Variety is not all it’s cracked up to be, if you ask me. What we need is reliable, dependable growths to fit in with out life styles. That is not a lot to ask. And if you really must do the treading-through-knee-high-fallen-leaves-routine then let’s set aside areas where that can happen. Let’s have some traditional autumn parks. But don’t make the rest of us suffer.
