Crosby Beach today, walking the dogs and looking at Gormleys Iron Men in the sand. It was so warm today, you wouldn't think it was November

Me n my missus went for a walk with the dogs today around Delamere Forest. Absolutely stunning. It's been over 20 years since I last went. I shouldn't have left it so long.

Lots of stunning pictures of last nights #BeaverMoon going round today. My one looks like it was from the movie Poltergeist. Lots of cloud and firework smoke around her...

My picture taken last night on Samsung S24, with firework smoke, in Skelmersdale. Not as impressive as your photo. Very bright last night.

Went out for a walk today with the little dog. One of my favourite places to be. Not as nice as it used to be, as some 4x4's and motocross' have ripped up a lot of the paths. Saw a kestrel, crows, magpies, and pheasants today, but no deers. Walked for an hour before seeing another person.

Tonight's Theatre visit is to see #DeadRingers at #TheLowry. My son has come with me tonight, so I'm hoping there's plenty of impressions my 18yo will recognise.

There's a definite autumnal feel in the air in the UK, and yet my dahlias are putting on a final flourish too.

We went out to the beach this morning in the rain and got soaked. Still windy now, and it's a different kind of beautiful. Watching the sun go down

Just been to Benar Beach. Noticed the dark rain clouds approaching over the Welsh mountains and thought we'd better get back to our little caravan sharpish

Gone over to Yorkshire for a few days. We've seen 3 Red kites today while out and about. One hovered over us for a few minutes eyeing up our little Chihuahua cross. I didn't realise how big they were either. Beautiful bird.
