Out and about...
I have been having a lazy few days,
the weather has been dull and rainy
and all I wanted to do was snuggle up
in front of the fire with cups of tea
but
I did go out on a few walks
and here are a few photos from my week..

just around the next bend is
Home Sweet Home 
a lovely tree lined avenue...
The autumn colours are just wonderful
someone said it's because of all the rainfall we had during the year

Beauty and Fashion
comparing myself to a horse,,.
I passed this little guy one day and do you know what...
I think that his hair is in better condition than mine!!
I think that his hair is in better condition than mine!!
and seriously when I look at him I think I have more hairs on my chin than he does!
hmmm time to get the tweezers out!
I bought this navy poncho in Tesco for €18.50
it will be lovely and snuggly for the cold days ahead
looks great with denims and nice wearing it at home while lazing on the sofa!
They also have it in a camel colour
and I am very very tempted...

House and Home
This week I'm enjoying...
mugs of hot chocolate and marshmallows
I usually buy a bunch of flowers for the house when doing my grocery shopping

and while I normally choose lilies
these caught my eye, as they are so bright and colourful and would lift anyones mood!

Mr. Raindrops decided to paint the lounge last Sunday
still talking about it on Monday
planning it all Tuesday
deciding what he needed to buy Wednesday
bought the paint Thursday,
rested Friday
and low and behold the painting began on Saturday
and low and behold the painting began on Saturday
He keeps telling me that these things cannot be rushed,
obviously not
it hasn't been painted in 6 years...
Is it all men or just mine?

Well it's Friday and so it's Green Day
The usual rules apply...
Thank you to all who participate I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do

I can't get over the beauty of your pics! Have a great weekend! :)
Fiona,
Essas imagens do Outono são lindas. Essa mistura de cores dá muito encanto a essa estação do ano.
Gostei do cabelo desse cavalo. Parece que ele foi ao salão de beleza. Risos
Um abraço e lindo final de semana!
It's all men, my Great Scot has been re-doing the fireplace for nigh onto 5 years now!
Such extraordinary photos, so beautiful! It makes me want to hop on a plane right now.
Hello Fiona, What a beautiful place you live in, the autumnal colours are stunning. Love the little falabellas I could take one home with me and yes, I'm always up for some hot chocolate and marshmallows. Mmmm, I need to be careful here as George is going to decorate.....but my husband is the same as yours...decorating takes a lot of planning, thinking, organising, cups of tea, lots of sighs and then, if I am lucky it begins! Have a lovely weekend. Best Wishes Daphne
What a gorgeous area you live in, Fiona. I just love those colours on the tree-lined road.
Your poncho looks lovely and is such a versatile article of clothing.
What sweet little miniature ponies!
Have a lovely weekend and ... happy painting!
Sandra
Hello Fiona, your Autumn colors are just beautiful. The Falabellas are so cute. They remind me of the miniature horses I see at a farm nearby. Just adorable. Your poncho is cute and I would love it with a pair a jeans. Wonderful post and photos! Wishing you a happy weekend!
Fiona, que lindas cores do outono por aí e os pôneis, lindos. Tive que rir de ti comparar os cabelos,rs... Lindas flores, gostei da caneca e os homens são todos complicados nos trabalhos de pintura ou de casa. Mas ainda bem, fazem! rs beijos,tudo de bom,chica
Hello Fiona!
What gorgeous surrounding you live in! The colours of autumn have already dissapeared here ...

Uśmiałam się czytając o porównaniu Twoich włosów na głowie i brodzie z wyglądem ich u kucyka. Widok zardzewiałej alei jest cudny i szkoda, że już niedługo tak nie będzie. Bukiet do wazonu cudny i pewno będzie zdobił Twój pomalowany już salon. Pozdrawiam.
Laughed to read about than your hair on the head and beard of their appearance at the pony. Rusty View Avenue is wonderful and I wish that soon it will not. Lovely bouquet in a vase and adorned definitely going to have painted your living room. Yours.
Ola Fiona, maravilhosas e variadas imagens deste outono que está no seu auge. Gostei de todas, porque cada uma tem o seu significado assim tão especial. Grata por partihar esses momentos. Abraços. Ailime
Bom dia, Fiona! estou maravilhada com os tons do outono em sua região. Lindos tons! Gosto de marshmallow e de xícaras de líquidos quentinhos no frio, mas aqui no Brasil estamos partindo para o verão...Os pequenos cavalos parecem de brinquedo! Um abraço e um lindo final de semana!
So very beautiful photos! Especially the road leading to your home!! It's a riot of colors:) Thank you for sharing Fiona:)
...and thanks for hosting the Green Day too!
Hi Fiona, I adore your photos this week. What a lovely tree-lined road and those horses are precious. Best wishes with the painting!!! The paint fumes usually get my sinuses infected. Enjoy some hot chocolate with marshmallows for me and have a great weekend.
Such wonderful photos! Ponies are adorable, you should absolutely get that camel-colored poncho, and...it's not just men who tear the house apart & then linger over finishing! Good luck with that!

Some gorgeous colours on the trees Fiona. So glad the weather co-operated and you could enjoy being out and about. The new poncho looks very cozy and warm.
I don't worry too much about the painting around here -- I do it all myself (love to do it!) hee!!
As for the horse having more chin hairs than you -- I'm still laughing (just having spent 15 minutes taking care of my own!). Happy weekend!
Hi Fiona. Lovely fall photos and a beautiful road you live on! You made me laugh about the horses hair and whiskers. :0)
Glad to see the men at work!
A lovely Green Day ! Your walk was full of beauty !You took nice photos .I hope that after the painting you can enjoy the new color and you will rest !

Sigh...take me with you on those walks, Fiona...please, please, please. I know I've asked before but who could help it with all these gorgeous views of autumn.
LOVE the poncho too.
I'm linking a little green today from my backyard which you already visited earlier this week, but I wanted to join your party with all your lovely guests. I was running out the door to dinner with my husband and I thought, FIONA'S GREEN DAY!! ;) I'll be back later to visit and mingle.
Thanks for hosting, love.
XOXO's,
Marcia
Love the montage. The ponies are adorable, and I love your cape. Enjoy the weekend!
Belíssimas fotos destes dias que o outono torna tão bonitos, com tão lindas cores! Adorei o poncho e o seu saco... e o meu cabelo também está pior do que o do pónei...
Tenha um bom fim de semana, beijo
Fiona, just wanted to say hello and to thank you for your visits. I'm sorry that you're in the gray just now. We have been for a week...suppose that that doesn't bode well for your coming week's weather update either.
What wonderful images you've shared...the mosaic is charming and I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful foliage still looking so fresh and fine. How pleasant it must be to live just down the road around the bend. Yay for a man who paints! My man does lots of things, but he says that I can paint. Boo. Hiss.
Hello Fiona!
Wow, what beautiful colours! Your pictures should be on a calender.
Your poncho looks cosy and warm. I think the camel coloured one would be nice too:)
Have a great week-end. It's Saturday night here and time I was in bed!
I appreciate your comments on my blog.
Betty
You're a real comic, Fiona! Everything is so pretty where you are. :)
Fiona! that pony is beautiful, chin hairs and all so you must be too?
Daisy x
Ps I know what you mean about the hair though same here!
What a lovely, lovely post Fiona!!
Those little ponies are so adorable. Their hair is in better shape than mine too!! You are so funny. Have a beautiful weekend. Your photos are beautiful.
Jennifer
Oh my goodness those have to be some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen - your home area is gorgeous! sandie
those horses are so cute! Lovely autumnal colours too!
Your photos are so Beautiful! I love the horses! I think it's most men.:)
Hope the rest of your weekend is just as lovely as those photos.:)
Hugs,
Marie
Magnificent!
Oh...all men, definitely...LOl
Hi Fiona! What a lovely post and the colors in your area are just gorgeous! And those sweet little horses. I've never seen one of these in person but I know I'd want to kiss that fuzzy little nosy!;)
Glad some painting is getting done at your house - men! :)
Thank you so much for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hello Fiona, it is so awfully posh where you live! I love your collage of images, and the little horses are adorable.
I think it's all men, or most at any rate. I am just glad that I can do my own decorating, otherwise I would be totally frustrated.
Thank you for your visit and lovely comments. Lois got far too many goodies, people on our street are very generous.
Much love to you, Linda x
oh my word, your home area is so beautiful!
i loved this post and the lovely tour through these amazing colours of autumn!
that pony is gorgeous too.
Hello Fiona, it's wet, wet, wet, here too this morning. I love the dark pink hydrangea. A neighbour of mine has it and I always lust after it. Every year I walk past it and go, I'm going to ask if I could have some, but I don't, then the frost comes, as it did last week and they are now all brown and soggy, and I think, what a waste!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. Yes I was pleased with my butterflies. I love things made out of wire, I made a little miniature birdcage too, but now I need a little bird to go in it.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead, with love Linda x
Very beautiful photos!
I liked your new poncho!
Have a great week!!
Stunning photos! The leaves have just been beautiful this year. Also, LOVING the poncho…between you and Anne, I want to go to Tesco now..never thought I'd say that! Lol Have a great week, Avril xxx
I am laughing so much at comparing yourself to the little pony and his hair issues. I can most definitely confirm that my husband is the same and even when he does start the job he always leaves midway to go to homebase because he is missing some tool or other.
Only six years?? We have lists going back twenty years and more of 'things to do' . . . the lists get longer and nothing gets done.
Lovely photos of your neck of the wood. As for the poncho in camel, if you haven't already, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on . . . ;-)
. . . go on, go on . . . (Got to have the right number there!)
Hi Fiona!
Oh my goodness your photos are breath taking and those little horses are just so cute. Have a great week.
~Clara
Fiona,
Encantei-me com suas lindas imagens!
você mora num lugar encantador
Gostei de seu poncho. Aqui está calor, mas imagino que você vai aproveita´-lo bem no inverno.
Homens são todos iguais ! principalmente na pintura de casa!
Fico feliz de poder participar do Green Day , meu olhar mudou a cada click
beijos

Saved you some chocolate, Fiona.
teehee
Hope you're having a beautiful day.
XOXO's,
Marcia
A lovely autumnal series of photos.
Hello dear Fiona ! What a lovely place you live in ! Your photos are gorgeous! Thank you so much for your visits. I am sorry the translation did not work for you but as you can see, I am doing my best to write in both greek and english from now on. Come and see my previous post about Uncle Jim, hahaha!!
All the best !

Hello Fiona, thanks for your attention. Have a nice week. Hugs. Ailime
Lovely photos...beautiful. I wonder what that little horse would do 'no pulling, yowwy. Thanks for the B day wish..so nice of you. Belate is still great.
What a beautiful road you live in. What beautiful autumn tones. It is interesting following your blog as you move toward winter, while we in Australia are headed into summer.
Those wee horses are the cutest! I absolutely adore the road to your home! Enjoyed all your autumn photos!
(Trust me, it's all men)
