Autumn has come

Autumn is definitely here - the leaves are turning and starting to fall. It's such a beautiful season on a day like today (the sun is actually shining!!!). So I thought it was a nice idea to dig out this LO I made some years ago of a walk I took on another lovely day like this, with my SIL and the kids at a beautiful place about an hour's drive from here, called the Devil's Punch Bowl.

Journal reads: "Our 'Test Walk' at the Devil’s Punch Bowl was much luckier than the 'real thing' – we had gorgeous sunshine and brilliant views across the gorge and from the ridge across the surrounding lands.
Fiona had chosen the location particularly as an “Autumn Colours Walk”, and indeed, the trees were beautiful, but the main attraction was an abundance of many types of fungi everywhere along the way. The place seemed aptly named, not only as a Devil’s punch dent in the range, but because one could imagine it to be a favourite spot for all his witches to descend and collect some ingredients for their cauldrons…! It also prompted Eleanor to suggest another challenge for the walk: the 'Mushroom Trail' – the person who could find the most different varieties of fungi would win the trophy (it went to Granddad Bob in the end!)."
