Place Notes

Monthly Report, November 2022

After a lot of Shetland-centric months, this month had a distinctly southern flavour, mostly spent in and around Oxford with a wee road trip to the south west of England to check out the North Devon beaches.

Reporting Days: 30

Location: Mostly Oxford

Miles walked: 156

Miles driven: 1329

Gardens Tended: 2

Photographs Taken: Hundreds (mostly trees with a few beaches for good measure)


Trees & Leaves

Still plenty of colour in trees even well into what can only be called a mild autumn (or perhaps a worryingly warm autumn).

Green Lane still has hints of green

Beaches

We used to spend a lot of time around the North Devon coastline - but for the last few years we've spent rather more time hanging out on the Shetland beaches.  It's always good to get a fix of sea air.

Weston super Mare

Woolacombe Sands

Crooklets Beach, Bude (just over the border into Cornwall)

Riverside

And even though Oxford doesn't have much in the way beach walks, it does make up for it (a bit at least) by offering a choice of riverside walks.

Looking over Magdalen Bridge

  And (spoiler alert) December's report is very likely to include both riverside and harbourside pictures
