We spent a very enjoyable week in East Lothian in September, staying a two minute stroll from Port Seton Harbour. We had a wander down there every day, sometimes to beachcomb, sometimes for fish & chips…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the landscape around Ilam Park in Staffordshire during a Photography Friday outing with Rachel.

The 158-acre country park is on both banks of the River Manifold and is a great place for a walk at any time of year but especially in autumn!

A couple of minutes after these pics were taken the heavens opened and we both ended up wet and cold!
