Hope you all had a great Christmas.

We’ve had picturesque, snowy landscapes in these parts…

It made this year’s Christmas very special.

We remembered to take our camera out with us quite a lot and captured some of the stunning scenery…

Thanks for all your support & encouragement throughout 2009.

Out & about… Autumn

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

It’s been a long time since our last Out & about post – we even missed the whole of summer!

Flower-filled fields feel a distant memory…

…the flowers gave way to autumn leaves…

…mushrooms…

…and berries.


For the first couple of weeks of autumn we had the best of both worlds – sunshine as well as amazing seasonal colour.

We were seeing butterflies until quite late in the year…

…but there was no doubting that summer was over, as the winter-visiting geese were beginning to arrive.

Even the autumn sunshine is now a thing of the past – it seems to have been raining non-stop for almost a month. But now we’re into December, this rain will hopefully turn to snow which will mean a magical white Christmas!
