There are few finer examples of the english oak tree than this magnificent example. It is huge! Tilgate Park has many different trees but this one stands out on its own next to an access road to the nature

I visited Tilgate Nature Centre again yesterday with some family members. It is good for the children mainly but it is also a great way to enjoy some fresh air. I took some nice shots of the animals and

Storm Boelo is coming for the weekend after storm Austin hit us today bringing heavy rain and strong winds to some parts of the UK. This is the new normal for autumn, where the jetstream drives areas of

A rare sight to see by chance but a beautiful group of deer happened to be crossing a field between my hometown and the next which is about eight miles away. I am used to seeing them quite often while

Another low step count day, but I'm getting stronger now after a spate of viruses, yuk! The rain has begun. There is a storm coming for Friday this week, that will be the first named storm this season.

Two virus infections already this autumn have left me quite weak. Add to it a tight chest and it has been a slow recovery. Daily Actifit posts have been dropped as a result 😕. So I am now hoping to increase

As wedding venues go, this one is not bad! How about getting married here? It is a little chilly at this time of year but a summer wedding would be fantastic. Changing subjects again, yesterday I attended

What have a common shrub called Nandina and Hive meetups got in common? Not a lot but they are both featured in my post today 🤣. This lovely example of the multitude of berries that the plant produces.

While the mild conditions continue, it is good to enjoy as much of the warmth before the deluge comes, because it will and sooner than we think. I have been up to the usual things, and it is a very busy

One pumpkin eats another one! 🎃 Yuk! I have never tasted pumpkin as far as i can remember, but I think it tastes much like squash. So, today we visited a pumpkin patch. Well, actually to be precise, a

I had the chance to take a half hour walk around the Titmus lake area of Tilgate Park. There are three lakes in Tilgate and Titmus lake is found at the back of the nature centre, where the viewing platform

Nature is preparing for colder weather now and there are plenty of signs to be found. The seeds of the sycamore hanging in bunches are a wonderful example of this autumn. We have some late roses too, looking

First thing his morning I looked out of the window to see sunshine. Thats not a surprise in itself and it looked good for a nice walk. It did however feel quite chilly. That is what made me realise that,

I took another walk into Goffs Park this afternoon to make use of the nice warm sunshine. The scenery around the lake was beautiful. Water levels are still low but recovering now with rain fall back to

It looks like here in the UK, we will have a very mild October 😀. We'll see. Judging by today though, it could be right. It was gorgeous this afternoon. Not hot but at about 20°C, for this time of year

Conditions throughout the day were very warm for this late in September, although not as warm as forecasts were predicting. It felt very humid with high altitude cloud cover and a slight breeze. Quite

Our town parks have tree trails to explore, so today I walked around Goffs Park and found some examples of these trees with their plaques. The trees are numbered but I dont have any information regarding

It is fungi season, amongst other things of course! 😆. I'm not sure if this year is as good as previous years for fungi but I have seen a few good examples. I think if the summer had been wetter than

This totem is a good friend! 😆. If my route takes me past this memorial to Robin, I always stop for a break to take in the peace and quiet. I have no idea who Robin is or indeed was but that is the name
