night of the dead Cedeira

Thee are the pumpkins the boys and Elise carved, scary isn't it

 We went to Cedeira, unfortunately we were a bit too early and every one got too hungry and tired to stay until the processions but we did see loads of carved pumpkins and other vegetables.

vilarrube sand

Vilarrube sand fascinates me well ripples anywhere do but this place has more than most as I may have said before. We have Elise staying with us via Helpx she is brilliant with the boys and very good a stacking wood moving rubble etc so we went to the beach for some time out.

 Its the end of October boys don't go in the water - no chance of stopping them

Then there were the ripples 

 And a firey finish

ceps and life returning

We have a nice little patch of boletus now the trees have been cut back and more light is getting in, this fellow was very tasty.

This is the aftermath of the Pantin fire that was raging on 20 Sept, the soil is now very exposed and starting to erode, fortunately we have not had a lot of rain since then but when we do I imagine a fair bit will move towards the sea.

Autumn crocus managing to survive.

Remains of a newish tyre and old metal rim from a wooden wheel - I guess this has been a traditional wheel dumping ground for many years. Next time I kayak past here I will pop in to the gully down below and see if many made it to the sea.
