Day 83

Yet another bit of laziness from your correspondent as I’m adding this over a week after the event due to a mixture of extreme business and general laziness. Anyway, this was a fine autumn morning for a walk. The sky was clear and there was brief respite from the rain of the past few days

Amazingly there is still some colour about with some gorse flowers struggling on although I didn’t manage to get a decent picture. There are also lovely autumn colours in a few of the trees that still have a few leaves – mainly beech now.

It was a fabulous clear day with visibility right to the horizon. Days like this are getting a bit thin on the ground now.

As I went deeper into the forest, there were more bits of colour about. Aside from the ubiquitous mushrooms (I’m having a mushroom-free post today), there was some very mature early holly.

Finally just as I was about to turn off the main access path, I came across this struggling on.
