Amazing autumn continues

Today we had a really good day.
Cat and B had stayed the night on Friday night which was super fun because we did a lot of crazy dancing and celebrated the start of the weekend. Then on Saturday we had some leisurely hours and I met my friend Lou for a slow walk through the woods looking for mushrooms. It has to be said that this autumn has been phenomenal for fungi! We had a quiet night and then on Sunday we all went for a bike ride on the Cuckoo Trail.

We did the same route we had done in June - from Hellingly up to Horam and then stop at the Wesson's Cafe for a bite to eat before heading back down hill to the car in Hellingly. It was a stunning and clear day with just a gentle nip in the air.

 After we got back to Hellingly, we stopped at the aptly named Cuckoo's Rest pub which has a bouncy castle, trampoline, bar, food, and lots of grass and picnic tables! We had another snack and bev here before heading home.

 Rhiannon and I went for a lovely walk together with her baby "Ashley" that she carried in her Ergobaby carrier. We just walked slowly and chatted and I told her stories from when I was younger. Just on the final home stretch, she had to stop to change Ashley's clothes in the middle of the dirt road we were on.

 When we got home, Rhods and I played some ping-pong on our fabulous table while the kittens looked on in the evening sun.

 So, all in all, a good weekend!
