Sunday morning walk

Rusty waits for his pal Benny by the beck

Are we going this way today?

• Watching three pre teen girls playing imaginary games in the garden and savouring the moment. It won't be long before they are into make-up and boys!
• The dogs jump in an out of the beck and Rusty waits excitedly at the other side of the gate wagging his tail and waiting for Benny, not realising that whilst he is small enough to squash under the gate Benny is not!
• Cutting back the perennials in the front garden, They are past their best now and beginning to look messy.

Reflections in the sunshine!

October walk in the sunshine

• Wellies squelching in the mud and trousers spattered with mud specks.
• The dogs stood outside the kitchen door their bottoms wagging as the builder working next door passed the time of day with them!
• Enjoying the sun on my face as I walked the dogs down the track- we haven't had much sunshine lately.

Rain rain go away!

Homemade scones

Rain water  from the gutters

A Rainy October morning

• Wallflowers to plant once the rain subsides!
• Debris strewn over the footpath past our garden, swept down by the rains!
• Warm scones, straight out the oven and dripping with butter!

Freak storms!

• Driving up the fell side road through  a waterfall  following freak weather on my way to choir.
• Finding the cattle grid blocked by a cow huddling for shelter in the rain. Driving slowly past hoping it wouldn't panic.
• Wellies full of water!

Autumn Days

Stepping into a neighbours garden so the sheep could pass down the road and into the field rather than make a dash for it back to the farm.

Winter pansies in a pot!

Autumn crocus in full bloom!

Bringing the Ryder cup home!

October Buttercups

• First geese flying south to their winter home,
• Buttercups in October!
• Our two dogs eating blackberries straight off the bush!
• Congratulations Europe on your success in the Ryder Cup! Seve would be so proud! It wasn't about the golf but about the power of the human spirit!
