Japan – Autumn Images From Nikko

Hello!
Its a quiet night here at Norwich House! Pip is snoozing, Jeff has gone to bed and my parents are on the boat heading back to the mainland!
It was a lovely visit! Even the rotten rainy days were relaxing as we enjoyed the fire, the company (and a bit of knitting!)(Not Dad – he played some computer games and enjoyed watching the footy!)
We didn’t do so much today… my parents went for a cuppa with Ruby and had to pack their car (I made this more challenging for them which a bunch of stuff they are taking back over for me!!) Made some more raspberry jam for them, sent them back with 4 dozen eggs and a few other bits and pieces from here!
I hope their trip isn’t too rocky.
The wind and rain has been a bit higher today – and cold!!

So tonight I just chose out a few of the autumn photos from our Japan trip last year (that I am STILL working on) for you to enjoy.

Nikko is especially gorgeous in autumn.

The crowds were fierce, but there were places you could go to get a bit of space and enjoy the colours without the crush.

I really love the Japanese maples… so pretty!

I caught this gorgeous pair of friends doing the typical Japanese thing and dressing up in their kimonos to get photos by the pretty autumn leaves!
It was so cute.

Thats all from me!
Jeff is all fired keen for a walk tomorrow… right now listening to the howling wind and rain, I might have to work on my enthusiasm!!!
Hope all of you in hurricane/tropical storm areas are going ok!! Stay safe!

Cheers
