A few curious residents....

Further round the lake, a swan came to the edge of shore to see me.

Bright berries on the bushes.

Looking back as we leave - you can see a local landmark known as 'Mow Cop' in the distance behind.

Clare, well done on getting down to the gym. And swimming, too - you'll be 'as fit as a flea' in no time!

At the moment I feel like I've got two concrete blocks instead of legs!

Take care, CLARE with weights twice as big as you thought. Don't strain any muscles and ligaments!

LINDA - lovely photos from the Mere. Don't think we ever went to that one, although we have visited Mow Cop.

OH cleared remains of Tomato plants and started cleaning the greenhouse. There are a few tiddlers potentially ripening on the shelf. Had the final Cucumber about a week ago, so only the Runner Beans still producing - not bad for this time in October. I offered to reduce veg space if he finds it too much, but he says it is still okay, so I have planned next year according to our usual rotation. Still plenty of colour among the various flowers; the darker Nerines still glow when the sun is on them. and the Kaffir Lilies are so delicate and long-lasting.

I wonder whether anyone is watching the series 'The Trump Show'? I'm about halfway through the second part. It's probably the scariest programme I have ever watched. Can't believe someone like that is allegedly the most important in the Western world ... Some of the things in the programme I knew, but a lot I didn't. And it all adds up to a very scary situation. Wonder if it's reached Annette and Diane yet?

No, Pat - I thought it might be too depressing!!
