The Orwell Bridge near Ipswich, Suffolk.

Safe harbour - Shotley Marina. I just love the reflections of the yachts and the clouds in this photo.

The Ovenclean man came today - now everything is bright and shiney! All ready for cooking the Christmas goodies!!

More autumn colour. I just love the red leaves against the blue sky.

October 25th 2009

Yesterday was the last day of British Summer Time so last night we gained an extra hours sleep when the clocks returned to GMT. Today when I noticed this glorious sunset something felt strange - it was only 16.40 hrs.

Graceful swans on Needham Lake earlier this week.

October 23rd 2009

A glorious afternoon for a visit to Needham Lake.

The new pedestrian bridge over the River Gipping in Ipswich. I rather like it's modern design.

Ipswich Town Football Stadium. The Sir Bobby Robson stand recently renamed after the legendary England and Ipswich football manager.

Sadly this poor old tree on the hill has met it's end. Will it be some one's firewood? I just had to photograph the pattern of rings!

October 19th 2009

Time for a walk over Broomhill.

October 18th 2009

A quiet weekend - hubby was away but this was the lovely surprise he brought back with him. Some of favourite toiletries!

October 17th 2009

My latest read and oh has it made me laugh!

October 16th 2009

Changeable skies! It was beautiful when we started out on our walk - where did the blue sky go?

October 15th 2009

More beautiful shades of autumn.

October 14th 2009

Twilight at Felixstowe Docks. There was a beautiful silvery sheen to the water this evening.

October 13th 2009

The berries on the rowan tree look beautiful this autumn and the birds are already having a feast!

October 12th 2009

Pansies. Time to replant the tubs and pots in the garden with some autumn and hopefully winter colour.

October 11th 2009

My beautiful orchid is flowering again for the third time. It is now in it's second year - I've never been able to keep one this long before!!

October 10th 2009

We seem to have hundreds of these electricity pylons marching in pairs across the East Anglian countryside and now there is talk of even more being erected!! Although they are a blot on the landscape the joy of having an electric kettle for my early morning cup of tea and being able to switch on the computer at all times probably outweighs their ugliness.

October 9th 2009

This year the pyracantha bush is covered in berries so there should be plenty for the birds during the winter months. Is a harsh winter on it's way??

October 8th 2009

The view from one of our windows. I love watching this tree in all seasons but I think it is particularly lovely in the autumn sunshine.

October 7th 2009

A cold and wet day - one for staying at home in the warm!! My photo for today was taken last week during our walk in Tunstall Forest.

October 6th 2009

The River Deben at Felixstowe Ferry on a wet and windy Tuesday.

October 5th 2009

The Ancient House, Ipswich. This lovely old building dates back to the 15th century and stands in the Buttermarket. It was formerly a bookshop but is now occupied by Lakeland, a kitchenware retailer - one of my favourite shops!!

October 4th 2009

Come and Ride on our Buses. Ipswich Transport Museum organise this day when you can take a trip down memory lane riding on the buses from yesteryear - and it's free!! It's great to see the buses from years gone by out on the roads again.

October 3rd 2009

A windy day and the leaves came tumbling down!!

October 2nd 2009

Autumn colours in Tunstall Forest, Suffolk.

October 1st 2009

A walk under the horse chestnut trees on my way home from town. The leaves have already started falling - there were lots of conkers on the ground too! When the children were small we used to walk past these trees on our way home from school. Great fun seeing who could find the most conkers!!
