Odd for November but we've just had three sunny days on the trot. Warm too. Great for dogwalking. Yesterday I dragged Jock up the Pierrefitte run to see the view from the top. On a clear day you can see right across to the distant mountains of the Massif Centrale (or whatever it's called). They're clear of snow at the moment but that'll soon change! Great walking up there at this time of year with the trees showing off their autumn colours. Good views too on the drive home, looking out over Sprocket Hill towards our hamlet. Nipped down to Felletin in the afternoon to do the EuroMillions lottery. Didn't win but apparently some French person did. About £130 million. Scary. Took a snap of Felletin from the road out of town on the homeward drive. Looked a lot better in reality. Ah well. For the evening run Jock and I nipped out back up the granite cross. Amazing colours in the setting sun. Saw a couple of timid deer but the photos were rubbish. Gets darkish at about sixish nowadays. Soon be the shortest day already. My, how time flies.
P.S. - Took quite a few snaps yesterday but couldn't decide which ones to leave out so I've shoved the lot in. All too soon the leaves will have gone as autumn ends, but at least I'll be able to look back at these snaps and remind myself of all the colour that disappeared into winter's grey. Bleugh!

Lovely photos Tommo. You were right to include them all in the post. I wouldn't have been able to select favourite ones either. Hope you are well and in good spirits.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vera. Yup, choosing photos can be tricky. Trouble is, I take too many.
DeleteAll lovely photos Tommo, but of course you know which one I loved the most. Jock in the back seat being driven...immediately reminded me of "Driving Ms.Daisy" which made me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're both well.
Thanks Virginia. Glad you liked Jock's photo. He's a spoilt lad and always travels first class.
DeleteGorgeous photos. This is such a lovely time of year, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI keep buying a lottery ticket, just in case it's my turn to win. 130 million would be very scary. Half a million would be enough to make a big difference to anyone.
Thanks Jean. Yup, 130 million is a bit scary but I'd be happy to have it, even though I'd give much of it away.
DeleteHi Tommo,
ReplyDeleteHope you're okay...haven't seen you in Blogland for a little while.
Just checking in.
Hello there. Yes, I'm still around. Just done a posting after a five week break.
DeleteFabulous photos. Autumn was lovely here in Creuse too but winter isn't. And it lasts till the end of March ... Never mind, it's worth the bad winters to get the good summers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steph. Yes, like you I often think the rubbish winters are the price we pay for glorious summers.
DeleteSolution to your 'scary' lottery win: when it happens, give half to me, that way you'll still have enough though it'll only be half as scary and you'll gain pleasure for your philanthropy. I'd do the same for you ...!
ReplyDeleteSeems fair enough. A good idea. I'll give it due consideration when the time comes!
