Fading Summer (widwed160823)

Shot at Hidcote this afternoon,  the summer colours look to be beginning their wind down toward the autumn. 

One for Wide Wednesday on the theme of colours.

In the extra,  a reflection shot of the cherub in the formal pool, I was surprised to get this on what was a busy afternoon there.

and finally - I have a new entry in my film journal!
and finally(2) our son had an offer accepted on a flat he went to view last weekend - so he's back on the mortgage application trail.
and finally(3) inflation has fallen to ~6.8% in the UK, we had our house rebuild & contents insurance renewal arrive this morning. £206 last year, £360 this year. A quick check on a comparison site suggests that's not far off the mark!
The range was £140 to £740, but most of the insurers I knew of were around the £350 mark.
