Today, was a beautiful day for a walk - frosty, bright, sunny, and the coldest morning so far this Autumn. Next Sunday is Remembrance Sunday, and the Church of St Peter and St Paul had poppies lined up along its railings in preparation. The long red line look fabulous in the early morning sunshine. The Royal British Legion have taken over an empty shop (see above), in the middle of town as their local headquarters and to advertise their wares. You can now get poppies of all different sizes...
For the walk, I was joined by Jenny and Belinda. It took us up onto Barren Down and then onto open fields. We followed a footpath which took us over a stone stile and through someone's garden. As the centre left pic shows, the gardener had prepared for the frost by covering the veggies with some ghostly fleece!
Jenny and I walked from Tadley Acres into the centre of Shepton to call for Belinda. On the way there and back we went through Collett Park, which was looking as splendid as usual. We also walked passed the allotments - full of interest, whatever time of year...
