I should have been on my annual trip to London today, but everything is catching up with me and I needed catch up with some jobs etc. The trip has run for about 25 years and it has become like a family outing so I a bit disappointed that I couldn’t go. To make up for it I spent some time out this afternoon to visit Attingham Park in the fine Autumn sunshine.
I explored the walled garden which is currently being developed and planted out (more on that later), then I went on my favourite route which is referred to as the mile walk. This route takes you along the river Tern where I found my secret bench and I rested a while, enjoying the birdsong. After my walk I visited the tea room and for those of you who are wondering, I didn’t allow myself to get tempted 
I sat outside in the sun watching the world go by and failed to notice how chilly it was dropping until my fingers started to feel cold. I decided it was time to go home and warm up a little instead of doing the other jobs I had planned on the route home. Hopefully I will have time to do them tomorrow.
I miss autumn leaves!
It is one of my favourite times of year
Shame about the cancelled trip. That wasn’t the trip when sunrise was to be photographed was it? I’m not sure I can hang on much longer.
Now you mention it, this trip was one of the options but not the main one
The main one is still to come. If that doesn’t work out, under sufferance I will have to get up far earlier than is good for me in order to deliver the promised pic 
I was always told patience was a virtue
Aaaah – beautiful autumn. Gotta love it – even when your fingers grow cold!!!
It is one of my favourite times of year. I just love the colours
Oh the jobs wil lstill be there tomorrow (unfortunately !!) and your walk was lovely . You have to sieze the opportunity when you can and tomorrow is sometimes too late, isn’t it?
Cheers
Helen
Some of them are still waiting to be done
Autumn would be depressing if it were not so lovely.
I am always rather fond of the autumn with it’s beautiful colours and the misty mornings
I begin to feel gloomy in January/February time and can’t wait for the first buds of spring.
Pity you couldn’t go [this answers my emailed question] but then again – who wants to go to London? [Steps back to avoid the brickbats] Those images of autumn are wonderful and I mean that in a soul-searing way.
I love the museums, I had planned to walk through Hyde Park to the Natural History Museum and back through the park later on. Hey ho!
You do visit such beautiful places Cherie. The autumn scenes are glorious
Thanks Jams
These places help me to re-focus on the things I have to do in life.
First picture is very striking with its red/green contrast.
CherryPie wins again
Thanks JD, that was the view that hit me as I turned the corner to start out on my walk to the walled garden
That last picture is wonderful!
Thank You
