mid-September

for the non-morning people amongst you, pretty picture over at tanya_photos

Yesterday ladymoonray and I went to Greenwich, where we were waylaid by bookshops (8 books: £16) and Noodle Time: thence to Oxleas Woods, South-East London's most extensive swathe of ancient (post-Ice Age) woodland, where we wandered around -- knew where we were and where we wanted to be, but woodland paths are curiously twisty and lead you away from your goal: the trick is to be aimless -- until we discovered Severndroog Castle (one of the Restoration projects that didn't win) lurking in the woods, all boarded-up and forlorn.

I see it is open this weekend. ladymoonray?

Also saw a fox; ate blackberries; photographed a monster fuschia; climbed trees; discussed the importance of weight-bearing exercise.

That sounds like fun - I must visit. Have you been to the Chislehurst Caves? I went on the hottest day in August last year, and the cold air was divine.

It's a steady 9 degrees centigrade all year round. It's also one of the places I feel most at home (I find it cozy). ivory_goddess and I had our wedding there (on the druid altar). She wore a backless crushed velvet evening dress, with ivy in her hair. ladymoonray and techno_fear were there.

For about a hundred or so quid, you can have a private tour and they'll around all the bits the normal tours don't go to.

That sounds like a gorgeous wedding. And I am intruigued by the idea of a private tour - I think I know a few people who would be interested.
