PERTHSHIRE — Following two storms, the region’s autumn leaves have been redistributed “with real enthusiasm”, according to the fictional Perthetic Leaf Monitor.

“I found a sycamore leaf inside a sealed jar of jam,” said fictional Kinross resident Sheila Barr. “The jar was in a cupboard. The cupboard was in Dunfermline.”

Residents are advised to sweep carefully, as many paths are slippery, and to check their hoods before leaving the house.

The real story: Fictional.
