Another month to go until winter solstice. Thats when daylight hours are at a minimum which heralds the beginning of lengthening daylight hours again. I am always pleased to reach the new year as it gives

The day started out with a frost and clear skies, but soon changed as clouds and rain spread from the southwest again. This is typical of our climate 🙄. One minute clear and dry, the next absolutely tipping

This is ridiculous! The festive season starts too early. No sooner is guy forks night finished, we get xmas shoved in our faces. 😆 I know its marketing and all that but really? This one is Santa's grotto

It remains cold right now but there is a change coming, bringing some slightly milder conditions which inevitably means rain! 😆. So, what better idea than go shopping for a short while and end up in a

With the threat of snow forecast, I did not stay out for long today. In fact we were warned of something called a thundersnow storm. 🤣. We did get a long and quite heavy snow fall but it didn't settle.

We had a frost this morning, I think it was the first time this autumn. A real change is now happening with a very cold arctic blast bringing snow to northern parts of the UK. We helped with the school

We awoke from our slumber and ate a good breakfast before setting out into the glorious sunshine here in Brighton. The initial temperature was a very chilly 5°. But it did not feel as cold as that sounds

A short break can be good to recharge the batteries! So we decided to book the Grand hotel for a night! Brighton is a great seaside town in southern England. A very popular destination for many on a sunny

Dark evenings are now upon us in the northern hemisphere. It is good to have a light to guide us, but that is not always available. I suppose the sensible thing would be to carry a torch! 🤣. Not such

A family of Egyptian geese decided to take a nap on a roadside verge. We came across this sight on the school run. They soon stood up when we passed by, and proceeded to cross the road, stopping the traffic!

It was nice to get out for a short trip to another town center. Horsham is not far away so it is familiar to us, although we dont go there very often. It was quite busy, but that is normal for this time

There was another lull in the weather. In other words an opportunity for a ride! 😜 It is very mild for the time of year too. We would usually be having frosts at night but I don't think we have had a

This bandstand has been around for many years. But not only many years but has had many homes as well! 😆. It is presently situated in the Memorial Gardens here in Crawley town, England. Originally built

On this gloomy autumn day, we decided to go to town. It was lightly raining but it is still good to get out for a spot of fresh air and to stretch the legs for a bit. There's always the opportunity for

An opportunity for a cycle ride! A brief lull in the rain came today. During last night I heard the rain hammering on the windows, which can be a cosy feeling sometimes. However, I knew that it also means

Tilgate Park here in our home town is a huge area of woodland, forest and public recreational areas where there are many features to explore. There are three large lakes, with interconnected pathways,

I wandered into town for a little shopping this morning and also stopping off for a coffee, which was actually one reason for going in the first place! 🤣. Its always nice to have a coffee in a proper

I love days like this. Calm, mild and cool. Perfect for sports like running or cycling. We are in that sweet spot between weather systems where it can be very calm and mild in autumn. A couple of canada

This current seasonal weather is great for the frogs! It will improve eventually of course, as it always does, making way for a colder drier period going into winter. The weather is one thing but the needs

There can't be many leaves left on the trees! 😆. The roads and footpaths are covered in a blanket of browns, yellows, reds and all combinations of these shades. A wonderful sight. However, now, we are
