Misty, blue skies, mushrooms and trees

A strange morning.  The fog started to clear and then it came back in, leaving just the hilltops exposed (Little Solsbury popping up in the distance)
Some beautiful sights as the sun started to break through finally
Great views (Little Solsbury in the distance again)
How would you know which buses stop here?:-)
After breakfast, into the van for a jaunt.  It hasn't been driven since Tuesday...
Went up to Westonbirt, which did not disappoint in its show of autumn colours
These are not flowers, but mushrooms
The view from under the caps
The maples were really stunning
And it was great to be out in the bright sun with both of us recovered from our Greek souvenir cold.
After some lunch and a cuppa in the van, we tool Bella for another stroll and saw these BBC technicians setting up for the last night of "AutumnWatch", which has been coming from Westonbirt all month apparently
The outdoor set for the programme tonight
Trickled home after about four hours - Su made a lovely tea and now we are talking about where we might be able to take the van in the next few weeks before it gets really cold.  May be just day trips...
