Looking into The Ship Inn at Middlestone, with Joanna at the bar, about to kick off quiz night. A fun evening with plenty of laughs, and the full range of Hawkstone beers.

 

 A other fab find on Facebook Marketplace. This is really heavy handmade wooden cabinet. Perfect for holding my touristy brochures for when friends come to stay.

 With Halloween approaching I walked to the window on the High St that had been decorated wonderfully for Easter the last time I looked. It didn’t disappoint. With a Stephen King feel to it, the house owner has filled the window with a horror clown theme. I’ll look forward to the Christmas showing.

 The Christmas cake is made, toting a small bottle of brandy within the mixed fruit, and I threw in a large tray of roasted veggies to make full use of the oven. 

 A beautiful scene of the Derwent River at Allensford on our walk this morning.

 I had Hendon beach almost to myself this morning. The sand was pristine with no footprints apart from my own.

 The sycamores, by the doctor’s office, appeared to be on fire in their autumn glory as the late afternoon sun lit them up.
