T Stands for.... There's no need to go far....

Hi everyone, as promised last week I am going to take you around our area.

I'm starting very close to home - the gardens around our buildings, there are three blocks of apartments of no more than 3 stories high, some are two and there are just a few with no one above them.

The next few are from some of my windows

In the middle of October we had some showers where the sun was shining too - the raindrops on the balcony window looked so beautiful

This is my Autumn display on my balcony that will stay in place until the end of November

This was taken on 15th October

This was taken last week, as you can see there were far less leaves, as we were talking to my SIL and hubby yesterday evening we noticed that the leaves are almost gone. The flowers on the balcony are still going strong.

We didn't go out at all last week but...

...just at the end of the road from our back gate we have a short walk to reach the River Mersey.

On 7th October we had had a lot of rain and the island in the centre of the river had almost been covered

We had a treat when some buzzards were flying around

It was time for reflection pic!!

On another day - a little farther afield and we come to...

...the slip road from the motorway....we used the controlled crossing to cross and get to...

Wythenshaw Park - we had seen a photo of the beautiful trees here on Local TV in the morning so decided to see for ourselves.

We went through the trees into a large field

By the time we got here it stared to rain so we went to shelter under a tree instead of walking across to the rebuilt Hall(you may remember it was badly fire damaged)

...passing this patch of around a hundred little mushrooms

It was raining quite heavily while we sheltered but when it eased a bit we set off - we were wearing waterproof coats.

I though you might like these photos of the Gate House.

So that was October - we decided to have treat on 1st November - Roast chicken Sunday  lunch delivered to our door and it's time to share our drink with you at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's T Stands for Tuesday at The Altered Book Lover blog

Our drink was water - as you can see we have moved our table to get a better light over the Winter, the first time was have thought of doing this, only thing is we sit side by side. 

In front of me you can see a jigsaw puzzle I am about to start!

I hope you enjoyed this visit to my area.

Thanks for looking, Chris
