It was another sunny day yesterday. Mr P and I had some shopping to do in a different area of the city. Each area of the city has its own high street and set of small, individual businesses and at the moment the shop window displays reflect the Autumn season and the forthcoming Remembrance Weekend.

Next was a walk in Ecclesall Woods. We haven't been there for quite a while. These ancient woods are beautiful in the Springtime when the bluebells are in flower and you can see a carpet of blue flowers among the trees. Now in Autumn the woods are just as interesting.
There are about fifteen varieties of tree in these woods. Here are oak, beech and sweet chestnut. The branches of trees are left as they fall to create a habitat for wild life.
The only fungi seen that day were turkey tails growing on fallen logs or branches.
There are streams and log bridges placed over them by the rangers who look after the wood. We didn't walk to the Discovery Centre yesterday although it's very popular with dog walkers and others who can stop for refreshments there, watch woodworking demonstrations or join a group nature walk.
