More normal sightings for this time of year were the spiders' webs along the hedges, with the dew still on them as the early mist was just beginning to lift.
There have been mushrooms in the fields, picked and eaten, as well as the last of the good brambles in the hedges to go with our apples.
Our latest walks have varied between 7km and 12kms with some fairly steep hills for added interest and practise.
The tractor wheel has been there for so long that the tree has grown right through it.
Alpaca are still an unusual sight in the English countryside. The other one hid behind the tree.
Spiders webs are more common. These were along the hedge sides earlier this week
