Janet's Ad-Hoc Walk in Tervuren

With a beautiful blue sky offering a glorious chance to walk in the autumnal leaves I sent round a message to see if anyone else felt like getting out this afternoon: and they did.  Apologies to anyone I didn't email, I just sent out a message to people who I thought might be available at short notice.

Seven of us got together and did the Kapbos walk, which includes a long stretch of path that is muddy even in the best of weather!  Today it slowed down the fast pace we'd started out at quite dramatically!

We were a bit startled early on in the walk to come across an unusually large toadstool, so large in fact that we felt it warranted a special picture!


And then Anna discovered she could take the top home with her if she wanted to ...


After that we stopped for the obligatory picture at the stones ... HI SANDY!


And this picture was taken to give our legs a break from wading through mud .. and shortly before we came to a very VERY steep incline with a mud pit at the bottom of it!  Fortunately others had come across it before us, and beaten a new path out which completely bypassed this small ravine!


I had been warned there would be a lot of people in Tervuren today, and there were!  Those not at the fair or running in the marathon that seemed to be taking place in the park were in Mont Blanc.  Therefore the six of us who were left gratefully accepted Anne's kind offer of hospitality.  We bought a lovely cake - and those strawberries did taste as good as they look - and were delighted to take off our boots and rest Chez Anne.  THANK YOU ANNE!

What a great impromptu outing! Love all the colorful photos so spectacular at this time of year. Looks like fun ladies. "Hi" back at you, too!
Our leaves are rapidly disappearing here with our recent over night freezes. Are we in for a colder than normal winter???
I guess we shall see ...
