It was an overcast and somewhat damp day, and J's discomfort, stiffness and spasm was upsetting her and challenging me, so I didn't manage to do much, but I fitted in an afternoon circuit of the village and liked these bright leaves against the black and white of the house and bare branches.

Later, there was a bit of before dinner bliss, sitting beside a wood fire with my sock knitting (while J watched a new film on Disney+ and P cooked), then enjoying some very nice red wine, a rare treat for us, after our meal.
