Down the hill

along the top road. it's marked as a Roman road. it's so straight. and has that wonderful tree tunnel




shall we cut through the woods? not yet


Mind the Fungi



Shhhhh! we're being watched. We stood & looked at each other for a good 5 mins, then I bowed politely & went on my way. a truly magical moment

Dorset in Autumn

We're going for a walk , want to come?

up the lane



Past the dead , but oh so beautiful twisty tree


Near the top now




More twisted wonders

Dorset Orange

Orange being the favourite at the moment.

happy halloween .
this is my treat bucket, it was full of sweeties, but as no -one came a knockin' Well we had to eat them all.


These beauties where purchased at one of the many road side sellers. all round here people put out flowers/ fruit/ veg that they have grown, to sell. you just leave the money in the 'Honesty box' it works too!!

there are seeds inside these lovely lanterns,Hopefully I'll be able grow some next year.

A GLOOMY DAY OUT.........

We went out for the day, out of Dorset and over to Devon, over Exmoor National Park, over to the wonderful Lynton,and then through the Valley of the Rocks, very spooky on Halloween at dusk. and home.

A dark & brooding Exmoor on the top.The wonderful clouds







The wonderful Lynton , an exquisite example of Victorian Seaside splender








The cliff railway coming up from Lynmouth




Sweet teashop at dusk



The wonderfully over the top Town Hall





the splender that is 'The Valley of Rocks hotel' if we had had time I would have loved to go in for Afternoon tea.







And the Valley of the Rock Valley itself
