A glint of autumn

Wow thats pretty! :)

pity the sky wasnt a better colour tho ~ stormy or blue??

what a beautiful photo

thanks yorkshire!

you were quick off the mark there sticki

occasionally i can be quick!!! not often!!

just thought I would pop on and take a quick look on here

you were pretty quick yourself, i have only just put this on.

Yeah a deep blue stormy sky would have looked good...go back and do it again lol ;)))))))

Wonderful picture Sticki, love it.

photoshop would be easier but i cant make that work.
thanks cinderella.

sorry pixi already too dark here.

Aw i dont have photoshop :(

:(

Pretty pic.
Get on that paint app!!!

i will mess it up ~ you will have to use your imagination!!

that's very nice Sticki, :-))

Nice Autumn scene,Sticki..I like how the light shines on the river..:o)

lovely

beautiful greens just before the fall !

Thank you surreylad, bloomer, Paul, bampy. The water looks better from this angle - it was quite dirty close up!

Lovely pic, and my favourite tree! Will there be bluebells beneath the beeches come Spring, Sticki?

Wow that is an amazing photograph, I love trees and they look pretty amazing. Well captured.

Thanks oliveoil and Sheila, no not many Sheila, not sure why - perhaps because it's a mixed woodland?

The shapes and atmosphere made by the trunks are wonderful.. and the contrast of tones and colours...really would make a good subject for a painting...love it..great photo Sticki!

Thanks Karen - I bet you could paint it too!

Great shot Sticki....so professional looking :)

Beautiful shot Sticki.....

Oh, thank you Scottish and DD you are kind.

It looks like we're all getting the paintbrushes out then.Really lovely photo, Stickie. Is this near you?

yes rose, its about 5 miles from me, just the other side of the town i live in and less than a mile from the very nice craft centre and coffee shop!!!

You and your coffee shops! hahaa

Can you imagine if Sticki and I lived near each other ? that would be a lot of coffee and cakes...past the lips,and on the hips !Lol.

Omg yeah the two fat ladies lolol

Pretty pic, Sticki :o)

its a very nice one pixi with a lovely view and some pretty ducks!!

well we could always jog between the coffee shops [not] bloomer!!

what are you saying pixi???!!!

thanks TT

LOL! Not a thing lol..I;m trying not to eat sweet things..and guess what..making a cake for tomorrow..Srah jsut brought in a pizza and cornettos! loloh well..staight to the middle it goes!

oooh nice, i hate to tell you this but i just found a shop that sells lardy cake!! i love it.

That Pixi is a cheeky beggar,Sticki...Lol...sorry to have to tell you both ,but going on hols tomorrow,so there will be lots of naughty cakes etc...I won't take pics of them though..in case you both think I am greedy...obviously ,I won't be eating any...,and if you believe that,you will believe anything ! :o)))))))
what the heck is lardy cake,Sticki ? ..and don't say lard..there must be more too it than that :o)

i think they use lard, but its a bit like a doughy bread, with dried fruit in and then sugar and probably the lard, i should think its like a heart attack coated in flour!!!

you could take pictures of cakes ~ in the shop!!! you dont have to tell us whether you ate them or not. where are you going?

I seem to remember my mum making something similar,Sticki..I will check the link later to see if it's the same..now,where am I going ? .somewhere nice and warm,hopefully..a cruise round the Med for a week..Spanish cities,Morocco ,(think OH wants to trade me in for a camel LOl).Gibraltar,and Lanzarote...for a week,,so you see my dilemma about the cakes? They will be there on display to tempt me..I could always turn the other way,and head for the boring stuff .:o))

Nah!!! boring is not an option ~ when in rome...... you will have to sample the delights!!

i hope you have a wonderful time ~ i shall be looking out for the blog. perhaps the captain will let you on his computer!!!

I have remembered to pack my camera..and charger,as I hope to take lots of pics,Sticki..I had wondered whether to try the Internet room,but it was quite expensive ,even for a short period..also,I have never mastered the 'Mouse' with my laptop,so by the time I manage to do that,it could be time to come home ! Lol.

Lardy cake is a doughy bread like mix, risen then rolled spread with lard and fruits and spices, turned and rolled again spread again with lard and fruits and spices think you do it three times then bake it and of course eat it. Not good for the figure or the heart. lol. saw it being made today. sorry do not know the recipe, you could google it though it is I think an ancient Wiltshire recipe.

thank you oliveoil ~ the recipe is on the web but i think its one of those things that is better bought from a very large tray that only the professionals have. or perhaps that is only because i cant make it properly!!!

lol. probably a good thing because I sure am certain that is one cake that would not be good for you.(if ever any cake is good for you) lol. but bet it is yummy the old ones are the best and always the yummiest, especially when they are not good for you. lol. shame shame shame. Ah well back to my lettuce leaf sarnies lol ONLY KIDDING!!!

I tried messing with it, didn't work!!

i think you have to be good with yeast ~ i should have taken a photo of it ~ but i ate it all. they make it in trays about 2 foot long.

How's about lettuce and marmite sarnies!! Yum! Made them for cricket tea last year, they were surprisingly popular!

i just had marmite on toast ~ nice! dont fancy the lettuce tho!

Yuk@ marmite ..bleh!!!!!!!!!
My cake wasnt good..Rick made one and it was perfect
:( he said its in the wrist action lol

what was wrong with your cake? bet it tasted good.

Love the original photo. Love craft centres(good ones),love coffee shops, love Marmite on toast and would give serious consideration to a Marmite and lettuce sandwich.

its good to like so many things, thanks.

go for it Tuesdaybear, it is surprisingly yummy..........
