Today has been a superlative early autumnal day. Very warm, but not hot, gentle breeze, but not cool; just lovely. So we jaunted off to Polesden Lacey and had a picnic looking at the above and then after about three miles. finished of our coffee flasks at the second picture, What a day.

We are so fortunate to be placed in such a wonderful world. Seeing so much more which included a massive sycamore leaf which with autumn coming had changed to all the colours of the rainbow. Then the above photograph, which in fact is five photos joined together (a cheap and easy way of doing wide angle stuff), that was followed by a line and wash, painting, which is a quick watercolor method of getting an impression onto paper; its good fun as well.

So tonight, maybe feet up and watch a DVD.
