We're just back from spending a few days in Ludlow, in the south of our county.





A weir with a ruined watermill:



Recent storms have taken this dead elm tree over:



Fungi!





Missing branch on an ancient oak tree:



I love the seasonal colours:





This is mistletoe:



A stormy sky:



Looking toward the church of St Lawrence in Ludlow from the country lanes:



The River Teme in danger of flood after a lot of rain recently:

We pay for it with the huge Atlantic Winter storms though- that's what keeps it all so green.

That's fair enough! Those winter storms can certainly be no joke to deal with.

We've had a couple of biggies this past two weeks, but for once this region missed the worst of them!
