Had a great day at Knaresburgh Christmas market today and stopped off at a fantastic pub in the Yorkshire Dales on the way home.

A festive day spent at the Piece Hall in Halifax.

A great night out in Howarth tonight.

A curious red squirrel showed up at the feeder this morning.

A red squirrel on the feeder this afternoon in the golden sunlight.

One of the great benefits of holidays is coming across new plants like this. It's an octopus tree.

Having a short break in the sun. I could watch these Atlantic rollers coming in all day.

The autumn colours look so much nicer now that the sun has come out.

A great night to be at Anfield!! #YNWA

There's been a lot of activity on the squirrel feeder this morning. It looks like they're busy stocking up on nuts ready for hibernation.

A great night out in Liverpool was had last night.

Looking back on my trip to Lancashire last week. The sky shows just how busy the flightpath over this part of the country is.

Sunrise over Pendle hill in Lancashire

Enjoying the Bowl and brewery in Lancashire with Ted.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

A wild landscape on the Isle of Lewis.

A nice way to finish off a sunny bank holiday with a book in the garden and the company of a good friend.

A nice afternoon for looking across the Solway to Scotland.

Ted's gone to bed, and I think I'm going to do the same now. Goodnight 😊💤

Ted is having a relaxing afternoon in a shady spot. #miniatureschnauzer

The perfect way to end a warm sunny day. #realale

Ted's walk included a route along an abandoned railway line today. #miniatureschnauzer

Admired from afar…

Beautiful day at Jesmond Dene park, Newcastle yesterday.

Nice evening for a dog walk through the woods. Ted surging ahead.

Holding on…

Tried out my telephoto lens yesterday and now getting hooked on pollinating insect photos.

Came across this 12th century Norman church in Herefordshire. Amazing stonemasonry!

Ted, snoozing on his favourite garden bench.

I set up my new remote camera yesterday and woke up to pictures like this this morning. I think I could get addicted to watching out for red squirrels now.

Great to see the return of Red Squirrels to the garden after missing for 4 years.

Such sad news this morning. Thinking of Diogo and his family at this time. Going to be greatly missed by the LFC family. YNWA.
