I really should write this down.
Have you a pen/pencil and paper to hand?
 
Warm, breezy and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept really well (overslept actually). Had a quiet morning doing some writing, looking up something in my archive to answer a question on a Formula 3 group on FB and picking tomatoes. I have another two-plus kilos of the things.

Lovely lunch of a ham, cheese & chutney sandwich, two plums, half a mango and two :cuppa:

Now letting that lot tamp down, and then I'm going to head off for a spot of foraging. Won't be using the bike this time, as there's a good place to park up nearby, and I know from past experience that I need jeans and boots and gloves for this one.
 
Back at the apartment. I could get used to this short commute...

Lovely sunny day but still a cold N wind.
Took a run down the street to look at the chaos which seems to get worse by the day. Service bus one way and giant motorhome the other. Motorhomes and campers partly blocking the street despite a prominent notice saying no parking motorhomes on Main Street. The bus managed to pass with about an inch to spare either side as a tourist with 4 dogs on leads walks on the street as though nobody else was there. The pavement is only for inferior people.:wacko:
 
Foraging was so so... That stand of abandoned Cox's Orange Pippin trees has really suffered over the summer, and I'm not sure they'll survive the winter. They're sandwiched between two leylandii hedges, which says enough. I did manage to pick half a basket of apples from the one that has the most light and water from a nearby ditch, but that's it.

Still a bit too early to pick walnuts. Only found four on the ground, two of which were empty. Popped one of the others open, and it was delicious if in need of drying out. Looks like a decent crop, although the nuts will be small.

Now sat down with a nice :cuppa:
