Onwards!

 Just a short "hop" today...down the motorway in strong crosswinds and torrential showers ...

Firstly to see a potter friend...who is nearer to seven foot than he is to six foot tall...and had the look of Gandalf from the film of Lord in the Rings...and is indeed a magical person..and his lovely wife...

Discussing Life, The Universe and Everything, as the saying goes...and especially pots of all ages....for nearly three hours....and we could have gone on!! 

At least my brother knew who I was visiting, so wouldn't be worried!!

And by where I parked was this...

Very suitable as we are at Samhain....the Celtic New Year's Eve tonight.

All Souls and All Saints Days.....the Day of the Dead in Mexico...

Wherever you go, an important celebration.

And the year begins as we sow the seeds for next year...the dormancy before the growth in Spring.
