In October we took an early morning walk past the lake at the campsite
The sun was rising behind us and the mist was still on the water
We past a duck stood on a rock watching the others in the water
A little flotilla of ducks milling around in the lake
Further on a little uphill mist can be seen in the valleys
The sun just poking above the hillside
Lighting up the hill opposite
Come evening the sun lit up the clods as it went down

I remember November as a kid being cold and damp with hard frosts on Bonfire night and fog stopping you seeing where you were going. As for flowers in the garden if any they were white with hoar frost, as the years went on the season changed and now it is quite warm for November and I noticed a few flowers hanging on in the garden
Magnolia and Acer changing color
Malvern hills hanging on
Even this pink one
Along with hot lips those three flowers you saw I see from our kitchen window
Going out the back this rose is seen
Though Olivia is looking worse for wear now
The blackbirds have not got these berries off the holly yet
Purple stands out
Along with another rose
This week the Church Explorer visits St Mary Ardley a place I have been through many times in the past and only knew the place for the nearby quarry. The church turned out to be a disappointment as I found it was closed at the time of my visit
Taking our dog for a walk around the lake before bed gives me the chance to capture the afterglow from the sunset
This particular evening it was nearly over
The last of the glow seen in the sky
It was almost gone behind the hills
Leaving the clouds darkening the sky
Happy SkyWatch
I'm running out pf ideas as to what to post ATM so thought some random photos might be in order.
Severn Services this is on the England side of the Severn bridge which used to be the main M4 crossing over to Wales before the built the new Price of Wales Bridge and moved the motorway. We stop here for a quick break on our way to the caravan
Road laying, something you do not see in England much but in Wales you do and the roads are better there
Suzuki Jimny's these are like hens teeth to find in garage if you want to buy one, this place does not seem to have a problem, mind you they are not cheep
Heather's Cafe just after it opened after taking over from TJ's, for some reason no one seems to keep the business going long in this property, TJ's lasted about 18 months, I hope thsi one fairs better.
Take Care
This week the Church Explorer visits another church from the book Oxfordshires Best Churches St Peter Bucknell a superb church which has some beautiful monuments
Red Sky in the morning Shepherds Warning as they saying goes and guess what I was greeted with one morning the end of September
I hope I am not flogging a dead hose here with more photos from Halloween but this time I can assure they are different, they are taken at night apart from the first two so enjoy
Ghost dog
Grimm awaits
