10:14:08 On the train on the way to Pulborough, in tweed entirely appropriate to a country outing. | 11:38:54 A very small door on the way through Pulborough. | 12:04:32 Walking through fields on the way from Pulborough to Nutbourne. | 12:05:24 Selfie in tweeds in a field. |
12:14:11 Outside the Risin Sun, looking particularly lovely with the covering of autumnal leaves. | 12:18:57 The fireplace in the Rising Sun. | 12:21:03 More of the interior of the Rising Sun. | 12:22:41 The bar at the Rising Sun, which I had to myself when I first arrived. |
12:36:46 Nice bit of creeper on the window outside. | 13:03:33 On my way to Nutbourne vineyards now. | 13:03:46 | 13:07:46 Spotted lots of mushrooms today. None looked very edible sadly. |
13:09:49 The Nutbourne vineyard trail. | 13:10:30 First glimpse of the vineyards, looking very autumnal, with the windmill in the middle. | 13:21:16 The view out over the vineyards from the windmill. | 13:21:19 |
13:28:42 | 13:30:06 Some grapes still on the vines - these were seconary growth grapes which would just be abandoned. | 13:31:09 Tweed, brogues and autumn leaves. | 13:31:48 More grapes left on the vines - seems a shame to waste them! |
13:36:29 | 13:37:57 One of the vineyard dogs followed me some of the way round on my tour. | 13:38:03 | 13:39:16 |
13:40:09 Nice viewing platform here - must be lovely in summer. | 13:40:21 | 13:44:47 | 13:45:26 |
13:47:26 | 13:49:49 | 13:50:05 | 13:51:07 The dog again. |
13:59:56 | 14:00:29 A bit of blue sky starting to poke through! | 14:02:25 For some reason there was a little bunch of grapes on the table. | 14:04:04 Definitely some blue sky now! |
14:04:21 | 14:05:08 There's a nice little outdoor bar area attached to the windmill - again must be lovely in summer! | 14:08:05 | 14:10:48 |
15:03:32 Inside the windmill. Not sure of the significance of the toucan! | 15:07:29 The large array of wines laid out for the tasting. | 15:20:52 We were really lucky to be able to watch some of the disgorging. | 15:24:17 Really nice skies now. |
15:50:55 | 15:51:10 Just as it was time to leave the weather turned rather glorious for a little while. | 15:58:57 Goodbye Nutbourne vineyards! | 16:14:02 Back across the fields to Pulborough now. |
16:16:02 Natalie on her Brompton, not really designed for this kind of terrain! | 16:16:03 | 16:32:36 Stopped off briefly at the White Horse on the edge of Pulborough on the way back - actually quite nice inside! | 19:53:08 On my way home I stopped off in King's Cross to see if I could see any firework displays from the roof terrace. Quite nice to watch in person, but none of the pictures came out very well... |
19:54:49 | 19:54:51 | 19:55:17 | 19:56:56 Still, the night view of Kings Cross and beyond was nice as always. |
19:57:42 | 19:59:58 | 20:00:09 | 20:05:48 |
