Monday 17 October

Another damp morning - we went up onto the Lower Burgh Meadow

 Bulrush - Typha latifolia

 A view of the tower of Coppull Ring Mill - no longer used as a mill.

 This is the small dot in the right corner of the previous photo - a Kestrel hunting on the Burgh.

 I would imagine the mill is a listed building - it is now split into units and business rent the space.

The gas burner on the Burgh - it has a bit of a lean on it and appears to be getting worse.

Take Care.

Thought we would get wet this morning, it was pouring down at 6am, by the time we set off it look dull with large black clouds, we got to Primrose Hill and the sun had won through.

Debbie was waiting for us and we had a good walk.

Found Dawnie on our way back.

This is on the rucks, this is looking dry even with the rain from the last few days.

First Burnet Rose we have seen.
Columbine in flower - this is a garden throw out - this is it's second year so it is quite happy. Bistort
