Company and Comfort

Hello Lovelies, 

I'm still not running at the moment so walking is the only exercise I'm getting.

While I do miss the running I honestly think walking is great exercise. It gets me out in the fresh air and sometimes I also have company.

At Thirteen my eldest is still a little bit shorter than me ( but his feet are bigger ).

 He is a great companion for a morning walk and was happy to stride out as we headed for the local shops on Sunday morning........

I was so tempted to turn left and explore my favourite footpath but we made do with gazing at the view through the gap in the hedge..........

The allotments are still full of produce..........

We enjoyed the sunshine as we walked along but the stiff breeze meant it felt more chilly than last week.
These glossy holly leaves grabed my attention, reminding me of the impending winter........

Eldest was very patient with my regular photo stops and even pointed out things I might appreciate, like this lovely weather vain.......

The sky was blue and the streets were pretty much deserted. There was nobody at the park..........

The roadside planters have fresh winter bedding. I loved this combination of Pansies and Heather..........

Soon we were at the shop and eldest chose something for Sunday lunch as I had forgotten to defrost the meat I bought earlier in the week...oops.

I feel blessed to live close to the countryside but I also within easy walking distance of a few shops...it really does seem the best of both worlds, especially when you are as disorganised as me.

This place my children have always called home is a great community where people are friendly  and if you are lucky you find treasure like this on the pavement.........

I shared a huge carrier bag of these with my two sister in laws.

With part of my share I made a yummy cake.....I'll try and share the recipe soon.

On Sunday evening we snuggled up and wondered what the storm would bring.Thank you all for your well wishes after my previous post. It seems we got away with avoiding the worst of the wind here in the midlands. We just got a LOT of rain. I hope it wasn't too horrendous for those of you in the south of the u.k.

Stormy weather is a great reason to be thankful for indoor comfort. When it gets dark early it's nice to have a cheerful seasonal windowsill to look at while I do the washing up........

But best of all I like a comfy chair and a crochet project to keep me warm as I work on it's final few rounds..............

I can feel a  ta-dah moment approaching....finally !

I hope there is some good company and comfortable moments  in your week.
