I took a cycle ride today in the afternoon sunshine. It was a lovely early October day with temperatures about 17°C. This time of year, there are many fungi to be seen, and I spotted several different

We had bedlam this afternoon at home with three young grandchildren for tea, accompanied by their parents, I'm glad to say 😂. It was not unexpected, and we all had some fun together playing games and

I have been a busy bee today! Not one of the bees mentioned in this notice in Worth Park. I applaud the council for letting parts of our parks go wild in summer to encourage wild flowers and bees. It is

I have done quite a bit of driving today. Having a family member in hospital an hours drive away is challenging at the best of times, but add to that a less than helpful car parking system, you have potential

It was rather odd today driving on local roads. It took me longer than usual to turn out of the junction at the end of my road. Sundays are usually a little quieter, but not today. I discovered why later.

The sunshine returned briefly this morning before it clouded over again to produce a little rain later. The wind, however, was strong, and I had to travel on the motorway M25 in these conditions. I could

Right now, sweeping across the UK, we have a named storm. Storm Amy, to be precise. I didn't pay enough attention to the weather forecast and got caught out in the rain as it started to really rain heavily.

Have you ever felt like you're being watched? This crow was definitely aware of being watched. So aware, in fact, that it posed for me to take the picture! 🤣 It's great when wildlife pictures work out,

Sculptures are fascinating! This one can be found on the grounds of a hospital. I have no idea what it represents or what message is being sent, but it sure does activate my curiosity. Guildford is a cathedral

It's fungi time again! That time of year when all these strange looking growths appear on everything in the garden and woods. Colours like orange, brown, white, even red! They can be a whole carpet, a

Boy, did I enjoy my ride today?! In brilliant September sunshine, I set out for a mountain bike ride through some gorgeous scenery. The shadows generated by the sun were spectacular! The track conditions

I recorded two walks on my GPS watch today. The first was a walk into town to meet with family members for a coffee. That covered a little over one mile in distance. That was nice, so afterwards, I decided

The old manor house in Goffs Park is finally being renovated after closing its doors! It was home to the Crawley museum until recently being moved to another location in town. Once owned by a banker called

The days are drawing in now. Even street lamps are lighting up early. The sky was a little grey and there was light rain around. Even so, I was still surprised at how early dusk was arriving. I have walked

Its bye bye to the old town hall building. It is finally being demolished, having been left empty for a few years after the new town hall was built next door. Times change! I wonder what is planned for

Another nice dry morning for a walk. A little chilly but an extra layer of clothing did the trick! There was a reason to go into town today, so I decided to make the journey on foot to include a longer

While out travelling about in the car lately, I noticed that there are a lot of road works. I hope the repairs last through the winter. Road conditions were very bad at the end of last winter season. Nature

The sun was shining brightly this morning, and the sky was a brilliant clear blue. Really stunning! I was out walking on a circular route, taking in Goffs Park where I stopped to enjoy the scenery. I found

Today marks the autumn equinox. It seems to have come around so quickly! Too quick, in my opinion! Now we have only another three months to the winter solstice, that's crazy. The dew was heavy on the grass

The temperature was chilly when I left home this morning to walk the short distance to a local supermarket. I took my jacket for extra warmth but it soon warmed up and on the return journey I felt too
