A late evening walk...

up to the Outwoods....

We are heading up to a point about in the middle of the trees ahead

The light was fading fast here - my camera has compensated for the low light levels

Looking towards the power station and airport

Looking back towards town.

You can just see Venus to the left of the vapour trail

 It's rare for us to get to the woods and not enter through this gate but too late tonight....

The trees in this wood are some of the most beautiful I have seen
and particularly charming when it is dark.

 Admiring the view across the town and out towards the city....

wishing I could capture the birdsong on film!

A beautiful end to a working day!

Yarning along on a sunny September day

Well thank you to everyone who commented on last week's yarn along post 

- your comments were lovely to read 

but I fear that you may all be expecting something spectacularly stunning to emerge from my yarn and needles and that you might find the end result disappointingly functional. 

I really hope that isn't the case. 

 Anyway, I have made good progress with my shawl during the last week. This is an easy knit, 

just plain old stocking stitch with the odd couple of rows of garter stitch 

thrown in to break up the plainness.

I took these photos in the garden - we are enjoying some beautiful sunny days here in the UK. 

The mornings have been misty and I love driving to work through a particular village where the mist lies low over the fields and at the time I am driving the sun is just poking above the mist, 

a huge orange orb.

And as for my book.... I have just started reading "The Map of Time" by Felix J Palma which, so far, I am enjoying very much but I think it will take me some time to finish as it is a loooong book.

Joining in with Ginny's yarn along. 

Best wishes

A nip in the air...

A beautiful morning - a sharp frost and bright sunshine

 

 

 

Wishing you a beautiful Monday morning!
