Sal spotted this scarlet waxcap, Hygrocybe coccinea (thanks Wikipedia), on our morning dog-walk around the Lake Grounds.

And a couple of days later, in Ashton Court, we saw lots of these well-named Hygrocybe splendidissima.

18th and 19th-century park, in a Cotswold valley, with five lakes. We had lunch by the recently-restored boat house, now containing a bat roost.

Remote, very watery, flat part of Somerset, south of Burnham on Sea. The rivers flow into the river Parrett, which, in turn, flows into the Bristol Channel.

This new rustic bench in a quiet part of Prior’s Wood (another favourite for longer, local, dog walks) will be over-looking a spectacular display of bluebells in the Spring, and is in memory of Joan Cant, a Wildlife Trust volunteer.

A regular venue for dog walking, and just a few minutes from home.

Clevedon’s popular and, normally, attractive and modern marine lake is being drained and cleaned for the Winter. Necessary, but not its best look.

Always photogenic, even on a less-than-perfect day.

Rob’s latest mural for Network Rail’s initiative, Project Sprint.

This plant, also known as Traveller’s Joy, grows near streams and there is a fine display alongside the rhyne (old Somerset word for a drainage ditch) which runs through the town to the sea near the marina.
