Nymans.. but where was the sun?

I find it quite hard to gain an hour when the clocks go back... unfortunately I often wake very early and today was no exception - I don't really like the shortened daylight hours..  and I know I'm not alone in this and.. and .. and..

However given I 'm a bit restricted to going to far at the mo.. I headed off for Nymans Gardens... not much sun but plenty of visitors which is good for Nymans.

I usually go in the same direction (being a creature of habit) but today went the opposite way for slightly different views..

Lots of autumn colour still - but it's been very windless the last few days... long may it last..

Time for lunch: a tasty Butternut Squash and Red Pepper Soup and a fruit scone.. both very good

I visited Warnham LNR later .. but no pics today..
