Christmas Day

Had a quiet day. Went a walk in the morning with this pair.
Bright and breezy.
Came across this sight - who'd have believed we're in a land locked county.
Just missed it bathed in sunshine.
Came home with dirty boots, clothes and a dog!
We all needed a bath, not at the same time though.

Parasols

Parasol mushrooms at Calke Abbey.
 
Had a lovely walk at Calke Abbey and went foraging with the camera.
Saw these parasol mushrooms on the way in and went back to see them.
The blue thing is my mitt and is about 6" long - it's there to give an idea of
the size of the parasol.

They were huge, about the size of a dinner plate and in various stages of
development.
