Autumn has arrived here. The top picture is from today’s walk in the forest, this part on one of the old forest roads no longer in use for motorised traffic; the most it sees is a few mountain-bikers, the occasional horse rider, and a few dog walkers and others, like us, who enjoy the peace …

Hints of autumn among the deciduous trees, and the bracken is dying back. Our walk today took us along one of our favourite routes. A large tree had fallen across the path, possibly overnight, and formed a barrier to less able walkers, so I took photos and reported it to the Forestry Commission when we …

Lakeside path. Yesterday, we visited the nearby spot known as Cannop Ponds. This is actually an area with a couple of small lakes, used for fishing and the enjoyment of walkers. The weather was about as ideal as it can be at this time of the year and I took a lot of photographs. I’m …

Bright sunshine greeted our morning, so we took a short drive to some local ponds (small lakes, really) and walked around one of them. I took a total of 225 pictures during our saunter. I’ve been a little busy since returning, so here’s the first picture I took. There will be others during the next …

Autumn colours brighten the shade. Another dull day here. But we managed a walk through a favourite part of the forest, and I captured a few scenes worthy of sharing. So here are a couple of those. The small brook was completely dry only three days ago, but the recent rain has revived it into …

A walk down a forest valley. After 36 hours of non-stop rain, we managed a walk this afternoon. But still rather dull. So, to brighten your day, here’s an earlier picture of the forest, taken when the sun was shining. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four …

A beach on the Greek Island of Samos. Taken in September 2016. I intended to start a short series of posts relating to our recent stay on Kos today. However, life and Windows combined to prevent me. Exchange of unused holiday currency meant a trip to the nearby city, where we also replenished our stocks …

Dusk in the forest. Yesterday, I ended my short annual period of online absence. You should try it: if you’re old enough, it will remind you what life was like before we were all enslaved by the social pressure of constant availability. If you’re too young to know such freedom, you’ll learn it’s possible to …
