End of the Season

 Last visit to the coast until Spring

Paid a quick visit to Harlow Carr where bird ringing was happening, which is not like bell ringing which was the first thing that came to mind!


 Carved detail of a new summer house

 Willow pigs

 Halloween display in Betty's window


and here comes Winter
leaving us with our memories of Summer
