Quickie

Just a quickie this morning as there isn't much to say at this time of year, which hasn't already been said.  So, despite the autumnal weather and a cooling wind cutting across Shipley Park, we set out for a walk around Mapperley Reservoir, via Slack Lane and finishing by crossing Shipley Hill.  We sat for a while at the picnic site by the reservoir for a flask of coffee, taking in the view.

The surrounding trees were doing a good job at keeping the wind off us.

The only problem was all the Birch seeds blowing about and landing in the coffee!
