Park Life

I'm feeling much better after my little vent last weekend.  The decorating continues but after lots of ticking things off lists this week  I feel back in control and less overwhelmed.
~~~~~~~~~~
We have been having some very unseasonal weather, almost the beginning of November and still we are ok without the heating on, although according to the weathermen that will change very soon and we are in for the coldest winter for 100 years......again :-)

As I had Oliver today we made the most of the mild weather and went for a walk to the park, It's a lovely park, lovely open space, lots of trees and a lovely old building which is now used by the council but which Oliver calls a castle.  But I didn't take any photos of that today because I was so excited to find these....



This one was huge, and so perfect

I have absolutely no idea what they are called, I told Oliver it was a fairy glen :-)


Close up it looks like icing blobbed on a cake :-)




They were such an unexpected find, I wish I'd had my camera with me, as it was I had to make do with my phone.

As we made our way to the swings we saw a few squirrels feasting themselves on nuts, unfortunately they were to quick for me to photograph especially when Oliver saw them and kept shouting squirrel, squirrel, they made a hasty retreat up the nearest tree, lol 


Our garden is still looking ok at the moment but I don't suppose we are going get too many days like this now so we will have to make the most of them.


The Hydrangeas are looking very pretty still, they were blue but have turned a lovely muted colour.  Can these be dried? I don't know,but  It would be nice if they could be kept a little longer

That's it for now,
thank you for visiting me today, your thoughts and comments are always appreciated.
