I thought that as it is such a lovely, warm autumn day that I would share some photo`s that were taken last year at the beginning of October. It was a beautiful hot day and we decided to go to Dorney, a pretty village next to the River Thames. We took Hannah and had a lovely walk along the towpath and along by the lock which was very busy with boats enjoying what was to be the last of the sunshine after a very hot and dry summer. I especially liked the walk by the disused little church of St.Mary Magdelene. It had fallen into disrepair and was to be demolished until a organisation called `The Friends of Old Churches` bought it (I think) and started renovations on it. It is a Norman church dating back to William the Conquerer and hopefully when fully restored it will be used again for public services.
The river that day was as flat as a sheet of glass and we had the most perfect day in the sunshine. On a day like that it`s almost like being in God`s own country, a heavenly afternoon that didn`t cost us a penny and gave us nothing but pleasure,peace and relaxation.

It's the colours for sure, for me, that make Autumn so heart-warming.
