Countryside in October...........

What a beautiful day for October. A beautiful day for any time of the year really. We took a drive out to a local farm market. Gallaghers. Since having Tristen with us we have enjoyed going there. He loves the animals but likes the activity more.

Driving by orchards still laden with fruit.


The signs of Autumn

My favourite tree

Some lovely farms

The Sunflowers are all done, but this kind was still happy and blooming

Lovely Oak leaves

The beach was beautiful, quiet and warm. Gentle waves washing up stones. Didn't have time to look for pretty ones so just took pictures for today


Maple leaves are dramatic


We met a cute little bug

The colours are not at the peak yet so I hope we don't loose a lot before they all drop. I would like another weekend out getting pictures.

On the Beach at Ferring.............

Although you may not be able to read this too well, it may give a bit of insight into the variety of life on and around the beach.Every beach is different. This is vastly different from our beautiful Michigan fresh water beaches. So it holds a different fascination.

I have seen seaweeds on many beaches in England but here there were quite a variety in a small space.


Not a lot in way of sea shells but I bet if I had time I could find some pretty ones. Lots of cuttlefish.


The pebbles looked really interesting and I knew that me and Laura could sit for hours there poking through them. As there was no chance of taking any home I didn't even look.
Check out this little guy.............



Everyone out walking, or on the way to breakfast at the Bluebird on the beach.



Old fashioned changing huts are now holiday properties that become your own little room on the beach, fitted with a hot plate and couches and chairs to relax and enjoy the views.
