Olaf The Pumpkin

I had an early walk ahead of the expected rain - did about an hour and 6K steps - stayed dry! The dawn was pretty disappointing after the last couple of days…so no blip today!

Later I did a tip run to dispose of our old mattress - the new one is brilliant so we are keeping it. On my way back through Clifford I spotted this character on a doorstep - so this afternoon I went out for a walk to photograph him. I got rather soggy in the steady rain.

I have noticed this year that a large number of trees, hedges and fences are adorned with artificial cobwebs for Halloween. There is an awful lot of it about - and presumably is destined for landfill on November 1st as it doesn’t look it can be reused next year. At least pumpkins can be used to make soup or feed the wildlife.
