Golden November
Fairy song through mellow mist
Caught by cheeky elves
Joining with Cathy and RainbowJ for our Photo Challenge Prompt of STILL
and
Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge, prompts: GOLD and SING
On Sunday I went for a walk in the footsteps of my ancestors up Lewesdon Hill, which is likely to be the highest point in Dorset (or is that Pilsdon Pen?)
It was a very STILL November day and a gentle mist hovered over the top of this ancient hill fort. Especially noticeable after of our recent fierce storms. It was hard to choose just one photograph, so have a wander with me.
This is my 15th walk of more than one hour, only one more to go to fulfil my 16 for 2016 challenge.
Joining in with Cee’s Which Way Challenge, so many paths to the top to choose from.
an air of misty magic
Also posting on the Facebook Page ‘Sunken Lanes and Historic Curiosities’
Then back to the New Inn in Stoke Abbott for the most delicious roast beef and Yorkshire pudding I have had in many a year – lashings of gravy and generous portions of perfectly cooked fresh vegetables, the cauliflower cheese mmmmmmmm! – a perfect treat.
One of my forebears opened this pub in 1895, and with his wife, there they brought up their 13 children and ran the pub for over 20 years. The pub still holds it’s character and I love to think of my relations sitting by the inglenook and supping a pint of home brew.
