Currently, my second favourite Office View.

The car broke, again. “That never happens to a Toyota” now thrice.

But bonus, was Fay and I walked to the Red Lion for a SPL (aka Sunday Pub Lunch). Not done that in ages. Lovely.

I have been climbing stairs

Howies cycle bag, going strong twelve (I think) years on.

Home and away fans enjoying today’s game. Many goals were scored.

Fay’s growing!

The colours this year are amazing. More yellow than yellow. Makes walking the back way into town an extra special delight.

It’s this time of year you realize just how many of the le boat boats there are cruising up and down the inland waterways during the warmer months. There’s now a whole flotilla tied up at Benson marina.

The boys. Keeping the countryside safe.

I grabbed a couple of days at the end of half term for some walking at Wasdale. There were lots of sheep. And lots of sheep poo.

There was autumn colour…

…some interesting routes…

…amazing views…

…and the odd moment or two!

There’s more detail, much much more, hiding here. Enjoy.

What’s this? Sunrise yesterday morning, light fog rising from the river. Shadow of tree projected onto mist droplets in the fog creating two fake images. Spooky.

No trains = working from home = walk the dogs = join F on his route to school.

I wish my commute was always like this.

Left it on the bike at platform 9 for a weekend and a bit. Still there on Monday morning. F says that’s because only ‘a certain type’ bike in London. Glad to know I’m a ‘certain type’.

It’s the time of year when you see the sun peeking up from the early morning train – assuming the early morning train runs that is.

“Are you celebrating?” asked Sunny the waiter. “Yes, that it’s Friday night” we replied. Moments later, a Prosecco with flair :-)

[Yes, I know it’s a flare, but homophones.]

I love this tree, it’s by the car park at the clumps. I can never quite capture it, which is probably part of its charm.
