Autumn Haze

Spent an extremely pleasant morning with Carol sitting outside the café in Queen's Park, Loughborough. Carol has not been at all well but is recovering slowly. She was so pleased to get outside and see some Autumn colour. She hadn't realised that the park was just as good a place to see it as in woodland.

Poppy petals were strewn all around the Carillon, the bell tower erected as a memorial to lives lost in the Great War. The metal structure representing Songster, Loughborough's own War Horse, was mantled with purple poppies, used as tribute to all the animals that had died in combat.

I liked the haze in this photo.

To Leicester in the afternoon to fetch William out of school. I could see straightaway that he wasn't wholly well. Peaky face.

Nonetheless, we went to Glenfield Park and then to Morrisons for tea and then back home where he could play Zombies and Plants on his Dad's X-box.

Three hours later, George rang me to say that Will had just thrown up. Uh oh.
