Sheffield Park - one of the best for Autumn colour

I went to Sheffield Park to see Autumn colour today.. previous attempts this week have been unsuccessful for boring reasons.. but today..!! and I was hoping to see some friends there... however, didn't find them and mobile coverage there is not good :(

Mr Ponders liked sitting in the sun..

ooh we like it here.. and Audley had his first trip out..

in THE tree!!

I went for a scone at 11.30 thinking I would avoid the queue.. WRONG... however, today the scone was worth the wait..

then for another wander

the long beds for Gentians

Just a few in flower..

the view from the Cricket Pitch area..

Lovely colours.. so sorry to have missed my friends though..
