Autumn Cycle Ride

Hello Lovelies, 

I'm currently on a break from running....well I'm just doing the odd very short run ....to give my joints a break .  To be honest I've had a rather painful ankle/foot since the great north so I'm listening to my body and easing up for a little while longer. 

In the mean time I feel the need to try and maintain my aerobic fitness so cycling is back on the agenda . I do love getting out and about on a sunny day while the countryside is still looking so pretty......

On my precious day off in the week ( I do feel so lucky to be able to work part time ) I decided to repeat the same route I posted about here back in June. 

It wasn't long before I found some wonderful Autumnal colour to photograph.......

And Autumnal fruit to pick ..........

The tall grasses along the verges looked pretty with the low sun shining through them........

Further along the road I shop under my favourite tree and gaze up at it's impressive twisted branches. Just a few of the leaves are beginning to change colour........

Here's a picture of this wonderful Oak tree from further away........

Cycling is great for being able to pull over and notice the small pretty things just at the side of the road .......

And fields of sheep........

Further along I'm now on an even quieter road and stop again at another pretty view.......

I guess it's not that vigorous exercise, stopping regularly on  this traffic free lane but I don't really care on such a lovely day........

More stops to capture these wonderful berries growing through the hedgerow........

They were growing on a sort of vine but I don't know what they are .

These I do know .....Crab Apples ..........

Nearer home and one  final stop . The golden corn and bales of September are gone now and fields made ready for the next crop..........

I love the changing seasons and the different views  that come with them.The ever changing nature and the cycle of the farming year. I love living somewhere where it's so easy to access the wonderful countryside we have in this country. I really can't think of anywhere I would rather live ( please remind me I said that in the depths of winter ! ) .

Thankyou to Chloe for informing me the mystery berries are Black Bryony and very poisonous so please don't be tempted to touch them if you do come across some yourself
