Up the road or down, sometimes further afield, often not for long, we're out most days.

Down the road, late afternoon.
It is wintry cold, and rainy. Some chestnuts are falling, it probably won't be a good chestnut year. I fancy a fire this evening, but we won't give in yet.
I had to pick up my youngest from school tonight at 7 pm, and it was cold AND dark. So it begins . . . a fire sounds so cosy. We resisted, too, but I did make chicken noodle soup to warm up the innards!
Do you know why it isn't a good year for chestnuts?
The chestnuts are just better with a good summer, and preferably a good autumn too. There'll be a few this year, last year there were none, for about the first time ever I think. We're a little far north for them really, though the trees are abundant, it's a bit cool and wet for the nuts.

Mmm, soup is good.
