Me on Monday

Waving to blog readers on a sunny but cold Monday.  Now the clocks have changed Autumn is really here.

A quiet weekend due to rain all day on Saturday so a sorting files on the computer sort of day.  I seem to have the same photos in different places and on an external drive so I am deleting the extras.

A recovering from a fall weekend, I slipped down some steps on some wet leaves on Thursday so have a big painful bruise on my leg.  Not something I recommend doing.

I slipped just after the rail stops.  This is part of the East Mendip Way and these steps lead down into a quarry, I wouldn't say the walk is well maintained in this area.  At the bottom there was no signpost to show which way to go.

As the clocks went back an hour Sunday seemed to be very long, I had walked the dog and had breakfast and it was still very early.  Tara, who lives to a very strict routine (it's a greyhound thing), wanted her walks and meals one hour early, I did manage to give her dinner half an hour later but by then she was very worried she would never be fed ever again!

Our Sunday afternoon walk:

(one hour early)

The trees are still quite green

Pairs - Spring and Autumn

My pair photos this week are of a tree at the doctor's surgery, one taken in the spring and one taken last week in autumn.

The leaves are deep red but they don't show up so well on a cloudy day.

I spotted this fungi growing on the bottom of a tree that has been cut down and made into a seat.

I have been trying to find out the name of it and came up with two - King Alfred's Cake fungus or Hoof fungus - please let me know if you do know the name.

This is the lane where the tree is:

Me on Monday

Waving to Sian and all my blog friends.  I have been away from blogland all week so will be reading and catching up with your blogs.

Monday finds me getting wet three times today while taking the dog out.  We have been lucky to have two weeks of sunshine so I won't complain.

This weekend was mixed with a resting day on Saturday and a long walk (for me) on Sunday.  My sister and I walked part of the Fosse Way (an old Roman Road) and then took a bridlepath and walked along until we came to a barrier - actually a piece of rope - but we assumed the farmer had a reason for blocking the path so we turned and went back the way we had come.  It was quite a foggy morning which didn't clear until the end of our walk.

Some curious faces watching as we walked past.

The countryside is starting to look very autumnal with the leaves starting to change colour. I can never make up my mind whether I like spring or autumn best.
