Early this morning Jackie stocked up with provisions at Ferndene Farm Shop while I sat in the car, then continued into the forest via
Beckley Common Road, which, like all lanes on this decidedly damp, drear, day bore reflecting pools along the verges,
and soggy autumn leaves there
and in the bordering woodland, where someone had hung
a pair of toys out to dry.
Equally damp were the ponies foraging alongside Forest Road.
Distant landscapes, as, for example, visible from Wilverley Road, were distinctly hazy.
Martin and his younger son, Arlo, visited briefly at lunchtime to deliver a Christmas card with a warm message, and beverages for Jackie and for me selected from information gleaned on this blog.
This evening we dined on more of Hordle Chinese Take Away’s excellent fare with which I drank Gran Selone Italian red wine.
Your post didn’t appear on my Reader.
I found it by typing in your new website address http://DerrickJKnight.com.
These lovely photos show you had another great forest drive.
Thank you very much, Sue. I have forwarded your e-mail to Owen. Although there are two likes on Facebook, there are none on here, nor any other comments.
I didn’t find you on the reader, but because I have your website bookmarked. People will find you again, I’m certain!
So pretty, especially the leaves. I live near Chicago. It is -5F right now!!
Without Sue’s link I wouldn’t have found you!
Wishing you and your family a magical Christmas and a happy and healthy 2023
Thank you very much, Seavale. Your good wishes reciprocated
So nice to find you again and know you survived the cold nights. Nice to see the ponies, too! Those toys look like decorations on the trees.
Thank you so much, JoAnna.
