You're Gonna Find Me, Out In The Country

I've been away for a couple of days over at NM's and this morning in his little hamlet an 'Autumn Adventure of Foraging and Orienteering' had been organised. It was a stunning, crisp day and after all the grey, gloomy weather of late, it seemed the perfect opportunity to get some fresh air and exercise so we donned our woolies and wellies and off we set. 

The starting point was NM's pub, which fortunately was not yet open.

 





The scenery was spectacular and the children, their families and especially the dogs had a superb morning chasing about the countryside.





Chalky was in his element.......




 .............and there was plenty of livestock to observe.



It was a treat to explore the autumnal colour and a veritable feast for the eyes.  I just loved having a nosy at all the grand properties we walked past, owned by the many affluent people in the area whilst NM gave me a running commentary of who lived where and who was the biggest w**ker!  
Our walk concluded back at the pub garden where we were treated to tasty hot dogs and warming  butternut squash soup, all washed down with a pint of cider of course! 








Home again, home again jiggedy jig and it's more crafting and the Strictly results show for me tonight, how about you ?
