Heathrow Sky



A few weeks ago I went to meet my son from London Airport or LHR as we know it, I went up on the Rail Air bus because I could not be bothered with waiting around in traffic. I took some photos with my phone while I was on the Bus.

 This is the coach you take, I used to travel on it a lot when I was working and going out on installations in different countries. It was never as luxurious as these though 

 I was hoping to get this plane head on as it was coming over the M25 to land but this was as good as I could get, the coach was a little too quick

 As you go around the roundabout before the tunnel you see this plane, when I used to go on a regular basis it was Concorde (I miss that) then another airline bought  the advertising space now this one

 On the way out I took this one of a globe but I forget the airline

Then it's back past the plane on the roundabout again. It was interesting to see how the place has changed from when I was a kid because I remember going there when I was around 10 with the school and we could go on the roof of the Queens building that had just opened. Times have changed.
Happy Skywatch

Woodland walk



A couple of weeks ago at my Caravan I went off for a short walk along a path that eventually took you to the village pub that people went to from the campsite. People walked along it during the summer evenings, in the winter I could not advise it as you will see.






The path comes through the woods from here
















But you walk through some very pretty woodland




The undergrowth by now is dieing back





You head over another bridge past a track that takes you uphill to moor woodland





You pass the stream by again before you come to a gate





and at this time of year you encounter a problem, the stream that normally trickles downhill and through a culvert washes over the path 






and as you walk on further you come to more mud, I retraced my steps here and went up another track but I will come back along here with you again.






Next week I will take you through the wood for Halloweeen
