And here from the shadow of the large beech trees positioned along the edge of the field you can just about see the roof of our house peeking through the surrounding trees. A first this autumn as in the summer leaves obscure this sight. Just a shame there are also electricity lines going diagonally through this field which annoy me terribly with the photography, but are pretty essential to provide West Linton with power!
This is the tree standing in a neighbouring field which I must have photographed more than any other. It just looks so scenic from all directions and specially in this weather and with the long shadows. The stones you see in the foreground are from the old railway platform that once used to be located there way back when.
Our rosehips are coming on a treat but there is no chance that I will be making jam (as if?!) as both blackbirds and greyhound are making sure they disappear as quickly as they appear!And on such a beautiful day even industrial ironwork looks good. This is another remnant of the railway days which John has incorporated into the fence around our property. After all we do live in what used to be the old railway cottage.
We all enjoyed the sunshine, specially Troi, who is strictly a good weather girl. It's amazing to think she's 10 now even though I still refer to her as the pub. She's having some trouble with her waterworks, poor girl, but she's as sweet and happy as ever and with the aid of dog nappies we are managing to prevent the worst inside the house.
I can't quite decide which of today's photographs to blip so you will have to check it out there later!

I agree Frieda - some times just hanging out at home is best. We are also having a glorious day here though it started pretty cold. 29F which I think is around 2C...pretty much did the last of my potted plants in so spending the afternoon taking them over to the compost. Thanks for sharing your pics - I especially liked the "industrial art" one though your "puppy" was a close second!
a day at home is always the best, punctuated with a dog walk makes it even better! xoxo hugs to you & yours, lenna
Love the stroll around your "neighborhood" with you-lovely breathing space!I love being home and in my art room too and I also agree that if it's a beautiful day one just has to spend some time outside enjoying it-especially in the company of a dog. Troi is such a sweetie and at ten (same age as my pup) she looks great. I think she should have a treat-tell her it's from me :)
