This Will Be Our Last Post For A Few Days,

Diana has this week off, 


so on Tuesday first thing we will be out to drive to Bath, back to Monday a quick look out of the window, 

the mushrooms are growing well,

as we will not be here on Wednesday we are visiting Duncan today, so warm clothes on,

into a grey rain laded sky, it was drizzling as it happens,

on to the number 54 bus and we were off,

passing Peter Pan's Pool,

last week at this point it was clear blue skies, not so today,

on this bus shelter, a bee garden, a few of last years plants have survived the dry summer,

one of only two that look this good,

past the Catford cat,

and Lewisham market,

in Blackheath Village the florists next to the railway station now open,

these were new,

they looked like moulded wax succulent, (Echeveria agavoides), but it looked like they had been sprayed with metallic glitter paint! they were certainly different,

Diana had not eaten breakfast, so on to the train, 

with a coffee, 

and a huge croissant it was then,

delicious!

we had to change trains at Dartford, to continue to Gravesend,

we did not see any swans on the pond today, until we were on the train and moving,

arriving in Gravesend it was a dark cloudy day,

we were soon on to the 483 bus and off again at the hill by the home that Duncan stays in,

as we walked into the grounds the silver birch trees now nearly bare, Duncan was pleased to see us both, but after an hour or so he started to feel tired, so we said our farewells and left, 

the weather had not improved, 

as we walked to the 483 bus stop, more clouds rolled in,

we were in luck at the station for 2 reasons, firstly we caught our waiting train with just minutes to spare, and secondly we did not have to change trains at Dartford, 

on to the number 54 bus, inside it was so steamed up with condensation I did not take any photographs, 

walking into the park it started to rain again, but we were soon home, Diana went inside, 

for myself I took the car to be cleaned, it had so many leaves on it as the trees nearby were going topless, arriving home we had our evening meal, after which we watched the final of BattleBots, hopefully a new series will air on our return from Bath, next for us a couple of Midsomer Murders, one we had watched a long time ago, the other new to us, Diana then called it a night, I stayed up for a Have I Got More News For You, after which I too was off to bed.
