garden glory

Before the weather sets in (and we did have a smattering of snow last night) I want to post my autumn pics from the garden taken just 2 weeks ago.  As you'll see, the pond was frozen, but it was a beautiful blue sky day

Glorious . . . .

in the gloaming

Fabulous weekend with the infamous six - this time down south

Try listening to this one and as we wander through the woods

and if that one makes you too wistful, try this we sang as we tramped along with the sun disappearing and that lovely Scottish time of day, the gloaming, creeping in

before giving way to the loveliest of November sunsets;

And as if that wasn't enough, the next day dawned bright and sunny as we wandered around Ardeley and its woods, and finally took refuge in the Jolly Waggoner.

and, replete with Sunday roasts, a final walk to the lovely Cromer Windmill as yet another day sunk into a fabulous sunset.

Bliss and a perfect weekend

in praise of gadgets

Just spent one happy afternoon under blue skies in the garden with my best garden gadget ever and Pick of the Pops for 1962 coming through my headphones

It might be old, it's little wheel might keep falling off . . .

but oh the joy of leaves dancing obediently in front of me into neat piles!!

rubbish picture, I know, but you try working the machine and the camera at the same time!!!

and Jane, this one's for you
