It was suggested that on the first full day in Bruges that we might drive to another town because it was going to be the best day of the weekend weather-wise. I thought that if that was the case it would be ideal to do a walking tour of Bruges rather than sit in [...]

The National Trust are currently gathering together glimpses of autumn from around their properties. There is even a Flickr group so that people can share their own autumn experiences. I know I am a bit late to the party but I have added a few of mine from my visit to Attingham Park last weekend.

My Garden in Autumn
Autumn Fires
In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires

Fires in the fall!
Robert Louis Stevenson
