Blowing Off Cobwebs......

I had my wandering head on a little last week.....

You know the one, that beckons you, when the sun is shining and shows up all the house work and jobs needing doing at home.

And you'd much rather be out~ Dora the exploring instead..

So camera to the ready I set off to blow off a few cobwebs!

*************.

I knew where I was going of course, but this is some of the views along the way...

Flowers on my forecourt.

This little Bumble bee has been resident for a few days now.

I keep checking if she has flown...

I only have a small forecourt, but have potted many plants and flowers to enjoy!

I am loving that she spent her final days on my pretty hydrangea!

I had to cross two bridges, on my travels,  have I mentioned it is extremely coastal  where we live and some times it can be a little isolated but ever so picturesque.

(freezing in winter)

 Views from the bridge.

Must have had my 'sea legs' on, as I have a fear of the water.

But today it looks calming and tranquil..
Also the tide was going out.

Picture post card, almost.....

I was born on Walney Island and have heard tales many times from Mum that "If the bridge was up to let the tall boats through, you could be stuck for quite some time waiting...."

*************

Mum didn't have''sea legs' either, and was for ever moving house , so when I turned four we moved onto dryer pastures.....

It was a beautiful sunny autumnal day and you could smell the sea air.

Another view from the second bridge, thankfully no boats coming through today!

My home town is a ship building town and once over employed a massive amount of ship building engineers and a strong work force supplying ships to the royal navy...

Sadly not nearly as many as once we did....

Ohh I haven't told you where I was going...

*************

Here of course!

Arriving just in time for a delicious lunch and a much needed cup of tea 

With Claire......

My weekend...

We seemed to have had that much anticipated 'Indian summer' this week , which has made for a lot of skipping in my step!

Sunday brought another trip out with Patrick before he adorned his running shoes anyway!

This is Hoad Monument and we pass this light house every time we want to travel away from home........

When we were younger seeing this view always reminded our sleepy heads that we were almost home and to be waking up slowly.....

Today we chose to walk up to it!

It is a beautiful walk and lots of families had chosen also to make the most of the sunny day, so it was quite busy on route, with beautiful stunning views.

**************

Beautiful views from on the route....

Can you make out the woodland Deer, seen here, made from willow and adding to the enchanted wood feelings......

We really have had the worst summer ever this year so this week has been much needed to recharge our batteries!

Don't you love weekends when you can be out and about to  discover....

********************

Then back home again to a cosy fire and a movie I have wanted to watch for a while now!

Thought it a little funny that it involved more water, but it has been a week full of coincidences, but that is another post.....

And a home-made curry, that's what Sundays are made for..

***************************

I am

looking forwards to seeing how your weeks have been......

I wonder if you have been out and about exploring or nestling down for fall?

Bye for now....
