Yesterday was an awful day compared to the sunshiny splendour of Saturday. A real washout. Stuck in all day pretty much. Today was much nicer, so after getting the shopping done and having lunch, we set off around the park and cemetery to check out the lovely colours.

We headed off up the cobbled alley to check out the leaf fall. I can't help wondering why there is blocked up window or small doorway. Whatever could it have been? Onwards we went, only pausing to have a word with Sallydog about her pulling on the lead a bit too much!

| Er... It's MY lead and I will take control little missy |
Round the corner to see a splendid golden view. Lovely. We all agreed that Autumn is the most spectacular season
Took a left at the end of the lane and headed down to the Cemetery.

It's been rather neglected over the last 10 or 15 years which is a real shame. However, just of late, there has been some work going on to tidy it up a bit. It's been a community service scheme so there is quite an improvement. It's still marvellously spooky though!

| Much neater now some attention has been paid to the older parts |
Through we trundled and into Memorial Park which is handily next door to admire yet more glorious displays of autumn splendour and had to have ANOTHER word with the Sallydog about her hogging the lead.
 |
| I already TOLD you... this is MY lead |

| Memorial Park looking rather splendid |
Finally we spotted something a little out of season. A ladybird. Maybe the last one we'll see this year. Who knows....
