It’s been a beautiful morning, here’s the view over the gate.

The view over gate. It’s a perfect autumn day, lots of sunshine and some fluffy white clouds. Some of the trees in the distance are starting to turn.

It’s still All Saints this morning but this afternoon is All Souls and a little bit of Bainton

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 5h

Morning A. Hope you’re ok and having a reasonable weekend

Gorgeous! This is mine

An acer (tree) with rusty red leaves against a vibrant clear blue sky.

I don’t know, I suppose it’s a possibility.

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 5h

A question of priorities I guess 🤷‍♀️

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 5h

Yes, they’re pea shoots. Tasty in the right place, but that isn’t cooked breakfast

Archie!!!

That puppy was sooo cute. I had to stop at the pond to make a fuss of it 🥰

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 9h

Morning Caz. Tea would be lovely, thank you 😊

By quoting the very end, you neatly avoided choir 2 (Dublin) and choir 1 (Gloucestershire) performing the whole piece on bluesky.

We will have to save that for another time!

In full enjoyment of felicitie?

All seven verses tonight and Faire is the heaven. All saints in style!

Oh no! Posted without photos 🤦‍♀️ #parkrun

The offending hanging branch, suspended in golden beech leaves, high above the parkrun course. No way anyone was running under this today!

And they’re off! Runners setting off the wrong way from the start line at Forest of Dean, framed by orange chestnut leaves.

One of our volunteers looking incredibly scary (and unrecognisable!) dressed all in black as a witch.

Me and a friend walking through the forest in our orange tail walker jackets, flanking a lady dressed as a witch and pulled along by Archie the brown and white springer spaniel.

Well that was an unexpected #parkrun. Branch split off a tree during course check leaving course unsafe, a hasty conflab with my set up team and we agreed a diversion and were able to go ahead. Some spooktacular costumes today and amazing autumn colours!

I find them quite easy to do, used them for a jumper last year too. Who / what is MJ?

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 22h

Yes! Every stitch is front post treble. Wrong side strong horizontal lines. Right side looks like knitting.
