A dry day today with plenty of sun and fabulous autumn light. A busy but satisfying morning washing the caravan and putting up the awning. We enjoyed our lunch of tomato salad with one of our own beefsteak tomatoes.
In the afternoon it was off to the woods for a fungus foray. We say very few fungi but we did notice a lot of trees down. Although, as yet the trees were not showing many signs of autumn colour, the bracken was looking spectacular with bronze, gold and greens all intermingled. Walking down the lane at the end of the walk we noticed what I first took to be a stoat running along the top of the wall followed by a second. The first one turned round and a tremendously noisy fight ensued. Suddenly they fell off the wall into a bush and one fell out at our feet. It was jet black; a mink. It hasitly retreated along the opposite wall. A dramatic encounter.
