There’s a definite chill in the air these mornings, even when we are fortunate enough to get sunshine later, and the leaves have started to change colour already. I don’t mind the autumn (fall), but not looking forward to winter!
Although Daisy is only 10 years old, she’s super keen on all things sporty and was delighted to be chosen for the school soccer team. It was their first competitive match, and although they played a more experienced team, managed a creditable 1:1 draw. Daisy had a good game!
Although we only live near a small town, we are blessed with a good sports ground with very active soccer, rugby and tennis clubs. The groundsman is refreshing the pitch markings for this week’s soccer match.

A small celebration called for today, so off for a quick drink and something to eat at our favourite pub in town. This is my beer of choice, the dark and rich ‘Slumbering Monk’. Goes down very well with Steak & Ale Pie!

This small pool a couple of miles from where we live belongs to a local angling club. It was completely deserted today…
