Our guest returned home yesterday. We had time to visit one very important landmark before I took her to her bus. She has been enthralled wherever we have been by the Autumn colours. Where she comes from in Australia has no clearly defined Autumn or Spring. The colours in th Avon Gorge were no exception and showed off Clifton Suspension bridge at it's best.
A walk over the bridge and back and up to the Observatory is one not to be missed even on a dull day.
The afternoon was then spent with another friend viewing some of the scarecrows. My favourite is in the centre of the village and depicts another famous landmark and group of people who are quite some way from home.
There will be more to come.
beautiful autumn colours and clever scarecrow tableau
ReplyDeleteBrill Abbey Road scarecrows! (All in shoes, I see!)
ReplyDeleteSurprised how low the Avon is. Great views.
The river Avon is tidal Ella. It doesn't look it's best when the tide is out.
DeleteOops, sorry! S'pose I should have thought of that.
DeleteEasy mistake. The tidal aspect of the river Avonwas one of the reasons that the docks first moved to Avonmouth.
DeleteWhat a striking bridge, and I hope your daughter is doing better. How scary to be squished by the horse!
ReplyDeleteI think we can easily forget how large, powerful and heavy they are!
