WE have now entered the month of October and summer has finally come to an end.

The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and autumn is now truly upon us.

It is so lovely to see the leaves turning brown and feeling the crisp breeze in the air on an October day.

This is the time of year when we tart looking ahead to special occasions like Halloween and Bonfire Night.

It is also around this time of year that we start preparing for Christmas as winter awaits us.

These photos show what was happening in October in Cumbria in previous years.

We hope that these pictures bring back some fond memories for some of you.
