Today has been just what I needed ... a relaxing 10am lie in, a gentle stroll into our local town and back, some photography around the house and a bit of labour for my dad ... mixing plaster for his lounge walls .... Just the right mix of relaxation and work for an easy Saturday!

One slight dissappointment was that I went to our local park hoping to get enough shots to create an entire "Autumn" gallery but when I got there I mostly found that all the leaves on the ground were well and truly muddy and rotted to a manky grey colour! Nice - Back to the drawing board then!

On the plus side, our gardener came this morning and made a fantastic job of our back garden! The lawn was expertly criss-crossed and looked amazing! I just had to take a few shots and this is one.
