It has been a good week,Last Thursday I went out for a 3 hour walk with Claire.It was about 8k but we took lots of pictures of fungi,very interesting.We also spotted lots of rather large chestnuts,so on the Friday we were out with the car collecting as much as possible.They have now been par boiled and are in the deep freezer.

On Tuesday we again went out for a little walk through the woods and forests around here.We noticed that there were more chestnuts and planned to return in the afternoon to pick them.Our walk his time was only about 6k,but still good excersize.For some reason this did not happen,time just seemed to fly by.

On Thursday after Claire had returned to the UK. I went out and collected masses of them.They are also, now in the deep freezer.On Saturday I was out collecting more,it would seem that this year has been a bumper year for them.

Today I thought that a stroll in the country was a good idea. i have taken pictures of the local area and spent a very enjoyable time walking and enjoying the different colours that Autumn had made on the trees.I have to say that it looks like it is going to be a late Autumn and hopefully a short Winter.More oics to follow.
