Beeston Castle

Built on an edifice of sandstone high above the Cheshire plain. Must've been quite a defensive proposition. One of the deepest wells in the country apparently - would need to be.
Today was still, autumnal and unseasonably warm.
But instead of feeling like a coming to a close, as autumn days so often do, today felt like a beginning.
Perhaps something to do with the coming together of old friends and young babies. Whatever, it is a nice feeling.
Oh, and please excuse the iPhone picture, but we were too laden with a picnic basket to worry about real cameras!
