Aye - I know - and I am sure I spotted the ghost of a slightly hefty sprollie waddling down the path a couple of times...Gooner Girl wrote: That's one of my favourite places in all the world! Many many happy memories. Did you drive through Drewsteignton?

Re: Today I'm happy about......
I also went on a walk today. Took the twins to the woods this morning for a run about.
I love autumn, it makes me happy.

Yeah, needed to get out for some fresh air! Mr GG was out for the morning so just trotted up and down the path a few times, fell over in the mud (them, not me) nothing too ambitious.
Re: Today I'm happy about......
you trees seem a lot more on the turn than ours... must be that this is the "english riviera!!" I was hoping the autumn colours would have been a lot more advanced today - but, still very green...Gooner Girl wrote:Yeah, needed to get out for some fresh air!

That's a lovely photograph, GG. It does though evoke thoughts of Friar Tuck escorting Maid Marian to Nottingham.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
