Taking in the Autumnal colours

Yesterday was a busy day! I help my Mum on Mondays, looking after the children and helping with the housework and cooking. I also take my sister's dogs out for a walk in the morning and I had to go to the pharmacy so I went to the local common, which is across the road. I wanted to get some photos of the Autumnal colours. I only had my phone camera and the dogs kept pulling so quite a few of the photos were blurred but I did manage to get some good ones!

Looking towards the woods from the road.

There were still a few blackberries around.

Lovely Autumnal colours.

Evergreen against Deciduous.

There were lots of lovely berries, I didn't manage to to get a photo of the bushes covered in orange and red berries though.

I love the green and yellow together.

Brown leaf litter.

I like this purple/red leaf.

It's been a bit of a funny week, my nan has been unwell and I haven't heard about anything else all week! It's been draining. My other nan had a small heart attack on Saturday but is home now and seems to be ok.

I hope you've all had a good week.

All the fun of the fair!

Yesterday, at about 4.30pm, we went up to the fair on the local common. Masons Funfair has come here every September for about the last five years, it's only a small fair and is never really busy. The children went on about five rides and they loved it! I took my niece on the Ferris Wheel and she said to me "We're going to the top, don't get frightened!" Here is the view from the top.

It started to feel really cold by about 5pm, Autumn is definitely setting in now. When we had finished at the fair we picked some more blackberries as there are lots all around the common. We picked loads, more than enough for a crumble which I'll make tomorrow afternoon.

I bought a new printer yesterday, a wireless one so I can print from the iPad as well as the the laptop. My nan wants some photos printed so I have been looking for photo paper but I can't find it very cheap!

Strictly Come Dancing started last night with the première show, the series starts in three weeks and I'm really looking forward to it! I didn't enjoy it so much last year so hopefully I will get into it this year.

You may have noticed I have added an "About me" page on here, I haven't written anything on it yet but I'm working on it! I have also started doing the 365 Project and hope to add a page for it but more about that in the near future.

I haven't really done any crocheting for a while so I need to get back into it and post some photos for you to see.

Here's hoping you all have a lovely week!

Blackberry picking

I took my niece and nephew blackberry picking on Monday. We went over the road to the little wooded area opposite my mum's, there weren't many blackberries ready to pick but there were lots of green and pink ones.

We saw quite a few ladybirds too but the photos aren't great.

And this massive spiders web!

In total they found four blackberries each, not enough for a crumble so they ate them when we got back!

I hope you've enjoyed this little walk and are having a good week.
