This morning I read more of ‘The Berlin Diaries’.
By mid-afternoon, with the warm sun vying with the cotton clouds for dominance of the skies,
I wandered round the garden with my camera. The Virginia creeper has reddened up beautifully in the last 48 hours. Each of the images bears a title in the gallery.
Later, the sun having defeated the clouds, we visited Ferndene Farm shop to buy various food items and three more bags of compost for which I now have to avail myself of the trolleys provided.
We continued into the forest where we tracked a group of young
Tamworth pigs as they left the road for gleeful chomping on heaps of crunchy apples.
Ponies along Forest Road formed an orderly line along a wall in the shade; while
others disrupted the traffic on Tiptoe Road.
After drinks on the patio we dined on Jackie’s tasty liver casserole; boiled new potatoes, carrots, runner beans, and broccoli, with which I drank more of the Malbec.
Wonderful way to spend the day. I loved the pannage piggies and the ponies. I bet there was also a lot of chuffing and snorting as they inhaled the applefest.
There was, Pat. Thank you very much
The cloud picture is wonderful.
Thank you very much, Bridget
I still find it amazing that the piggies and ponies run freely about, Derrick. You won’t see that here. The garden looks fantastic with so many lovely flowers! ❤️
Thank you very much, John
You’re welcome! ☺️☺️
Your images, as always are simply wonderful!
All of them
Thank you very much, Luisa
As if the horses and donkeys walking all over the place don’t bring me joy enough all year long. It’s the time for free roaming pigs that I find amazing❤️
Thank you very much, Donna X
Lovely flowers especially those clematis.

What a fine array of pigs.
Lovely to see the pigs doing their autumn job.
This afternoon I began reading Richard Osman’s new book that I pre-ordered (first addition). I was pleased to find that for the moment it’s set in your neck of the woods. I recognised many of the place names thanks to reading your blog. I believe the characters travel abroad later in the book.
