Autumn in the UK

This year I'm working part time, so I was able to spend time in October and November in the UK with my mother.  In the 6 years that she has been at her current place, I've never been there in the autumn before - and what a super autumn it was!  For some of the time there the temperatures were 18 degrees!


The time there started with a few days in London.  Rachel had celebrated her birthday and we all went out to an escape room.  Lex and I also walked on the North Downs at Box Hill.  We also went to Windsor Castle one day.


I stayed at Mum's for several weeks and generally it was lovely weather there - I took advantage of this by walking 5k almost eery day.  Most days I didn't even need to put a coat on!  Just look at the Autumn colours!






There were also good family times as well - meeting up with Joal and Rachel in London, going to Victoria Park with Lex and meeting Sylvia, Sally and Jacqui at LPQ for a very long lunch.  




On my final weekend in London Rachel and I walked to a Buddhist temple in Wimbledon - who knew such a place existed?  It was a long walk there but certainly worth it.  Now I'm looking forward to being back in England again for Christmas and New Year.
