Nothing like going for a tromp around the countryside on a crisp November morning.

Nice photos, I love that they're all quintessentially British. I love those cold, clear winter days.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, where did you find alpacas?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos :) I love the human sundial, and that Yeats quotes is one of my favourites :)
ReplyDeleteThere's an alpaca farm at Boze Down, just outside Whitchurch-on-Thames. There were hundreds of them!
ReplyDeleteThe human sundial was amazing. I was so impressed!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos. Considering how close I am to Pangbourne, I can't believe we've never been. It looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy friend has one of those "walks around Reading" booklets, which we are working our way through. This was a five mile circular walk starting in Pangbourne and going north. We did another one earlier in the year which started in Pangbourne and went west/south. They're pretty good, although the directions in the book can sometimes be a little vague!
ReplyDeleteI love the wheels. Wonderful photos. And you look like your having nice weather too.
ReplyDeleteIt's been lovely recently. The temperatures are starting to drop now, it's getting a bit nippy. But still dry, which is good!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I don't get out and photograph enough.....I have a lovely camera and Little Man to entertain me so it should be easy, right?
ReplyDeleteLove the photos!
Thank you for these wonderful pics. Just lovely!
