This morning whilst on our usual Sunday lake walk ,the weather was calm and dry…the following photos show the beautiful carpets of golden leaves through which we walked.The lake so serene. An hour afterwards suddenly the heavens opened ,thankfully we had reached the farm coffee shop.There was flash flooding across the roads.The rain sounded like bullets on the cafe roof….very quickly all was peaceful!

Pretty place to have a walk, despite the weather. We had a miserable morning into the early afternoon. Now, its blue sky and sunshine! Breezy though.

I love those big trees. Beautiful area for walk. Glad you made it to the coffee shop before the "torrents opened".

Sensible people were probably staying at home,just us and the ever patient fishermen or should I say 'fisher people'??

Love your autumn walk Julia, it looks so peaceful. Thank goodness you reached the coffee shop before the elements decided otherwise!

Lovely photos Julia ... we had torrential rain and very strong winds most of Sunday. The lawn had a very small puddle in one area ... yesterday and today better weatherwise. Leaves are still sticking to the ground ... so no leaf gathering for sacks today.

I'm glad you didn't get caught in the shower, it sounded nasty.
It looks a peaceful place for a walk.
