I really do love autumn. I love the colour of the trees, i love the yellow, golden, reds, browns and everything in between. The drive to Rae, Jue and Archies was filled with every colour of leaf you can imagine. We had a bonfire, mulled wine, fireworks. It's sucha strange thing that English people sit around a bonfire in November in the freezing cold weather. Mad dogs and english men :)
Today we went for a walk, through the trees, looking for mushrooms, kicking the leaves (see Rae's great high kick for an example) and my favourite pastime (apart from travelling) - photography.
Don't let anyone say otherwise, it's cold up north! I'm a southern softy by heart and well and truly proved it when I stood out the car after a 7 hour car journey wearing a skirt and sandles into a puddle of ice, literally. We stayed in a gorgeous cottage by Penrith with Al's family. We visited the Rheged cente with mountaineering exhibition, did a photo tour of the lakes, ate, drank and was merry. It felt just like christmas already :)
