Much of the day was spent moving furniture and belongings to facilitate access to radiators for tomorrow’s visit by the heating engineers.
Late this afternoon the three of us went for a drive in the forest. We were offered turbulent cloudscapes as a skein of geese skimmed across the sky, and cattle grazed on the moors. Jesus beams burst through billowing clouds.
A SOLD sign has been erected in front of Elizabeth’s prospective new house in Pilley.
This evening Jackie drove us to the Walhampton Arms where we met Nicki, Andrew, and Paul N and enjoyed their very good company with the splendid carvery meal. we all ate gammon and turkey with Yorkshire pudding and the usual plentiful vegetables. Raspberry frangipani and ice cream followed. I drank Razor Back. Cheesecakes and other drinks were consumed by the others.
Yay for Elizabeth! What a good feeling for her. Will there pictures of her new home? Dinner sounds scrummy.
Many thanks, Laurie. House will feature when she moves in – end of November.
Looking forward to seeing her new house!
Beautiful photos of the clouds with the sunbeams shining through and down.
Elizabeth must be excited!
Many thanks, Merril. She is
The cloud shots are beautiful. Amazing crepuscular rays!! 😊
Thanks very much, Dorinda
You’re welcome, my friend 😊
Real Estate moves slowly in the UK compared to here. We’d be moved in by now. ‘Jesus beams’ always makes me laugh.
Thanks very much, Pauline. Completion not until end of November because the house is let until then.
Congrats to Elizabeth! 🙂
I love that you said “Jesus beams”! I always call clouds like that “Jesus is coming clouds”! 🙂 Amazing photos, Derrick! Love the sun playing hide-n-seek with the clouds! 🙂
Your meal sounds yummy! 🙂
HUGS to all!!! 🙂
Very many thanks, Carolyn X

Those are glimpses of a very moody day. I am waiting for the photographs of Elizabeth’s house in all its splendour through your able camera.
Very many thanks, Uma
I love the cloud photos.
Thanks very much, Nicki
Sometimes I wonder
If clouds cover up sunrises on purpose,
Jealous of the way they shine,
Or if they just long to be part of the masterpiece….
My love to all of you!!!!
Many thanks, Efi. X
Great shots…I really don’t know clouds at all.
Very many thanks, Mary
Magnificent clouds.
Thanks very much, Sherry
I love how you caught the light, filtering through the clouds.
Thanks very much, Rabirius
Fabulous clouds!
Many thanks, Andrew
The one thing that hasn’t changed since time immemorial is man’s wish for Heaven to reach down to us through the clouds. I can’t capture that with my camera, so I love seeing yours.
That’s lovely, Ginene. Thanks very much
Those clouds are amazing! Wonderful captures Derrick!
Thanks very much, Lynn
most welcome
I’m pleased to hear things are progressing with Elizabeth’s house. I hope you heating work will also progress as you wish!
Thank you very much, Helen
Congratulations to Elizabeth. House hunting is a bear. I’m glad she found something so fast. And I hope the heating work goes well–it will be time for heat soon. Lovely clouds and water…
Thanks very much, Lisa
No water. I just imagined it!
🙂
Great Jesus beams. It’s a catchy name – the first time I heard you use it I adopted it and it’s now my first thought when I see them. 🙂
🙂 Thanks very much, Quercus

I have never heard the term ‘Jesus beams.’ Thanks for a new phrase.
It came from Jackie’s New Zealand friend, Pauline (not thecontentedcrafter). Thanks very much, Flower
Congratulations to Elizabeth on her new house. 🙂
Beautiful cloudscapes and Jesus beams, Derrick!
Thanks very much, Lavinia

Thanks very much, Kim
An excellent reward for all that labour. 🙂
Thanks very much, Widders
Love those photo’s of the clouds, the geese took a bit of spotting, even with the pictures enlarged. I don’t know why but I have never seen or been able to get gammon bacon here in Australia, Always the .best bacon, when we could get it with our ration books.
I suppose that the gammon you are referring to, was a roasted hind leg of pork variety and very tasty indeed. Fond of a bit of pork meself, I did a roast loin for our dinner last night, lot left over, I might turn into some small pork pies, just for me.
Thanks a lot, Brian. Pork pies sounds good
