HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MOON!

The moon turns new on 6 October, next Wednesday.

I hope everyone has a good autumn week. The trees are just beginning to turn a bit yellow here. No strong colors yet.

    Diane: We have persimmon trees in back gardens here; well, some people do, just not me. My friend makes a fab bread/cake concoction that I'm sure would go wonderfuly with whipped cream.

    Annette and Pat: Our persimmons are wild, and apparently they can't be cultivated. The pulp is very prized here, and people don't disclose the location of their secret trees. LOL!

    Annette: By the way, THIS is why I need a pickup truck and not an SUV. (A box will pop up and ask you to log in, but just click X to close it. The site is safe.)  LOL LOL LOL

    AQ: I know you haven't been able to get out much to photograph churches. So HERE'S ONE for you. I thought you'd like it. LOL (Click the arrows on the bottom right to expand the photo. The site is safe.)

    Ha Ha DIANE

    A dolphin is swimming in the Torrens Outlet (near us), entertaining crowds tail-walking, etc. See Here.

    AQ: That's a beautiful dolphin!!! I hope the expert folks are right and he or she can get back out with the high tide. Lovely!

    Good morning, all.  I've just posted Part Two of our Mull holiday - click on this beautiful gull to see some more photos:

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

    Clare - Thank you so much for starting my day with some more wonderful pictures of Mull. I am getting more envious by the minute! I have almost always seen dippers at the road up into the hills opposite Aros Park - but glad you saw even the flash of one. If I knew how to PM you I would be very interested to know the name of the B and B in Dervaig - I am hoping to get to Mull next April and am looking to stay somewhere different from my usual area. Dervaig would be perfect.

    Lindy - It's definitely not sunny here. Very autumnal and a real misty moisty morning.

    Diane - The 'chicken church' has gone straight into next week's church news sheet! Apparently some of their congregation are not amused ... but I think it's great! Not sure what our very modern architecture would be called - and I certainly shouldn't speculate!

    AQ - Do hope the dolphin gets back to sea safely. They are such fun to watch,

    Hello all
    Thank you for pics and posts, I haven't yet looked at your photos, CLARE, but intend to do so later today.
    OG - not like you to lose your appetite, first time in all the years that you've said that... you have indeed had a rough time recently. I remember that you used to like lamb tagine, roast pork with apple sauce was a favourite as well.
