My photo is from Winkworth Arboretum yesterday. On the left is the trunk of a chestnut tree or actually 5 trunks. The ground is covered with chestnuts. On the right is another tree and in the distance more trees with their autumn colours.

My photo of the base of the trunk (trunks) of this chestnut tree showing the ground covered in chestnuts. Some of the roads where I live are becoming slippery due to the massive number of squashed chestnuts this year.

I bet a lovely meal could be made for all the guests at that table for a fraction of the cost per head of a meal that was prepared for a certain person on his state visit at Windsor Castle!!

As far as I can tell, only the Guardian & Hope Not Hate have reported on this โฌ‡๏ธ.

I guess the rest of the media are waiting for Farage to release another football shirt for some more โ€˜fun guyโ€™ headlines.

There is a shimmer on the tarn which is reflecting the blue of the sky and the dark colour of some of the surrounding fells. Near the shore, in the foreground, rocks are in the water. The sun is shining on the far shore and on the Langdale Pikes in the distance.

In the foreground is Marram grass with jagged dark rocks just beyond. The wet sand is reflecting the blue sky. The coast of St Ives can be seen in the distance.

The palace was wrecked during the English Civil War and part of the ruins remain. The Great Hall was restored in the Edwardian era. The building adjoins the residence of the Bishop of Southwell.

This tall conifer is guarding the Archbishopโ€™s Palace at Southwell Minster. This was the former Palace of the Archbishop of York dating from the 14th Century. The tree is scouring the area with all its arms spread out to protect the building.

Iโ€™ve found a few related to the places I have visited I wonโ€™t be short of stories especially ghostly ones! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

According to the legend the ghost is the spirit of a girl who died of a broken heart after her forbidden love of the Delaval heir. Itโ€™s actually a lovely place to visit as it is on the Northumberland coast, has beautiful gardens, and a lovely National Trust cafe. โ˜•๏ธ ๐Ÿฐ

Seaton Delaval Hall, Northumberland is reportedly haunted by the White Lady ghost.(see ALT text)
When we arrived there the building was covered by fret, sea mist, which certainly made it very atmospheric.

It was very popular there this morning . I took the last car park space. It emptied out in the afternoon. I would say the maples/acers were at their best today but a lot more trees still to show off their autumn colours.
