I give thanks for trains and boats and cars - some favourite modes of transport. For the luxury of being driven around to scenic places, and for at least one person in the car knowing where to go to find them! For being able to manage short walks in between. For station lifts when changing platforms...and the plans to install one here.
For another boat trip, this time to a long road free spit of sand where the beach huts cost up to £450,000 to buy but the uninspiring looking cafe served surprisingly cheap and tasty food with a variety of vegetarian/vegan options - quite a rarity in this part of the country it seems. It was a lovely spot, almost like being abroad...or in the Isles of Scilly at least.
For diamonds of dew on the grass and spiders' webs in the chilly morning, the whistle and squeak of the cheeky starlings, and the iridescence under their spots. For more absurdly non autumnal warmth as the day wore on. I know I should be concerned about climate change, and I am, but paddling and eating ice-cream on a mid October mini break is such a glorious bonus!
