Essex
I have spent the day in Essex at Octagon’s longest standing client, Chris Regan Accountants in Chelmsford. These flowers are outside his office – and the shot was made in the pouring rain.

Ansty
I spent the day at a business seminar near Coventry. It was held a Ansty Hall Hotel which had a walled garden, that made a good place to look for a photo of the day. But I had to be quick in the ten spare minutes I had at lunchtime.

I have some work to do for Octagon this afternoon so I am setting off for home early. But there was just enough time for a short walk.

The weather was variable today so I planned a short circular walk out into the hills and back through Hayfield – see here it shows all the weather in one photo.

It was a good walk the only problem was I could not find a cafe in Hayfield, several pubs and hotels none of them very inviting – all I wanted was tea and a sandwich, so I ended up just walking back to the camp site where I made my own sitting out in the sun shine.

Mount Famine
With the variable weather I walked out to Mount Famine and then back to the campsite via Hayfield village.

I was being severely buffeted by the wind whilst I was making this panoramic shot and after three attempts I had to stop as my hands were getting too cold. Ten minutes later as I was coming down from the summit the sun came out!

It is a showery start to the day but managed to eat my breakfast outside the tent. The Hubba tent is really small so I have to be very organised to eat in it – it is much better to be able to get outside and eat.
It was freezing here at about midnight, the grass was crispy as I walked on it and the water on the fly sheet was frozen. This morning there was a dusting of snow in the high ridges I can see from Hayfields Camping and Caravan Club Site. I am planning to go walking today but at the moment the rain has me drinking tea in my tent and blogging!
