Some gorgeous photos there.

I was just thinking about Max a couple days ago. I hope it's nice to remember him lolling along those trails, in and out of the mud, having a blast.

Thanks!

Yes, this was always one of Max's favourite walks. He would have been so happy at the quality and quantity of the puddles...

We had elm tree stumps in our old garden. They regenerated (I think they do it by a system like suckers?) but after about fifteen years, as you say, they succumbed. The tree surgeon was quite excited about it. 'Haven't seen this for years!' he said, gleefully. I was always pleased to think that we had 'oak, ash and thorn' there, it seemed so timeless. It would be sad to lose ash trees as well.

Yes. I keep hoping the ashes won't all succumb, that maybe some of them will prove immune. There are so many ash trees in the woods and hedges round here, if we lose them all it will change the landscape completely.

I like your terminology for daylight savings time.

Lovely, moody photos of the bay.

Thanks!

The skies were quite moody - I was expecting it to start belting down with rain at any moment. But actually it turned out to be a nice day for walking. Just a few spots of rain in the air.

Pretty.
That's too bad about the tree die offs.
Neat little food not!truck.

I hope we don't lose all our ash trees. Some of the hillside woods round here are nearly all ash woods. If Ash Dieback gets them all it will be devastating.

It was a very impressive conversion - fitting all that coffee-making equipment into a tiny space!

[adafrog]

That would be horrible.

Yes. Some of the ways they get things into little places boggles my mind.

Sorry to hear about your ash dieback. Here, we've lost our ashes to the emerald ash borer, a pest imported from Asia.

[puddleshark]

I'm sorry to hear that.

Ash Dieback is a fungal disease. It might have made its way into the UK on the wind, but the truth is we have lousy biosecurity in this country, and it probably came in on saplings that were imported from areas where Dieback was already present.
