How atmospheric

Oh my word it's so foggy.
It was quite spooky.


you never know what is coming towards you
50 flights in and out of London were cancelled today due to a blanket of thick fog that lay over the UK.  As worrying as this news was, I wasn't concerned, it didn't affect me.  
Well I was wrong the fog was so thick at some points I could barely see five meters ahead of me.  It did however have a haunting beauty about it all, especially set against the back drop of the gorgeous autumn colours.  
I stopped the car and took a few photos (it's becoming a bit of an obsession these days) and decided that I'd go for a walk and try to catch some moody shots.  
All was going well, until the sun started to set and visibility was almost none.  I carried on snapping away at cobwebs and ghostly trees, when I heard heavy breathing, I turned around to be greeted by a big, smelly dog.
It jumped up at me wanting to be greeted.  He was harmless, but very smelly.  
For the rest of the walk I could hear dogs all around, it was very disconcerting not knowing if or when they would appear out of the fog.
Time to head home, a nice cup of tea, some warm fluffy socks and a blanket were calling.

Driving home spectacular view part four

The spectacular view from the top of the hill from Garsington to Wheatley, this is the view I have seen almost everyday for over five years now.  It's only now that I am slowing down enough to appreciate it.

Date Night

Date night this time was at Cockadoo in Nunam Courtney. It's an Asian Fusion style restaurant With huge portions of extremely delicious food.

We had a shared starter; satay, prawn toast, ribs, fish cakes, and what can only be described as a sack of veg.

GO ordered a Lamb Shank fish while I had Thai Green Curry.  We had King Scallops on the side.  

It came to quite an expensive bill, but then we found out the took the gourmet society card, which gave us 25% off the bill making it a more reasonable £50.  It was a special occasion (my birthday and new school) we don't do this very often, but is was well deserved.
