An autumn walk & homemade mushroom soup.

Lots of mushrooms growing under the trees so I made some mushroom soup.
I'm not a good soup maker but it was very simple, turned out OK but lots of faffing about & stuff to wash up!!

The walk was good & I felt better for it but spoilt it by eating a couple of Belgian chocolates with my cup of tea when I got back!

Three good things:
1. The smell of Autumn, unmistakable!
2. Crisp chocolate!
3. I found the loud speaker button on the phone, I have been struggling tohear conversations on the telephone. No one has rung yet to test it!

I love mushroom soup! never quite confident enough to pick funghi when I am out and about though. :)

Looks lovely and the mushroom soup sounds lovelier.

Nice countryside and I love home made soup. The washing up is disproportionate, I agree!

Sweet memories of childhood -- I so loved my mum's home made soup . A combined effort Dad wound pop over the river at the bottom of our garden to pick mushrooms in the field and bring them home for Mum .Autumn , is certainly with us - the smells , colours , nip in the air and the nights drawing in !

What a lovely scene. Very relaxing.

Oh my, homemade mushroom soup. How lovely after a walk in the fall air, and chocolate too? Sounds like a perfect afternoon/evening to me!

[Jennifer]

ooh nice one on the soup. I'd end up picking something poisonous!

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl I think Autumn is a very reflective time, lovely memories Beryl!

@willowdragon no I was nervous but I have a mushroom expert on hand!

[Pat Knowles]

@boxplayer thought it would be up your street Ayla!

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze Ridiculous is right Hazel, but worth it just!

[Pat Knowles]

@jesperani b. He he there are so many mushrooms but I would have been more nervous if I had picked them in a wood & not our field!

[Pat Knowles]

@louannwarren It was. It I had to force myself out, felt pleased with myself when i got home though!

[Pat Knowles]

@cdonohoue Sounds nice doesn't it Cathy but it was windy & made my ears hurt!

[Babs]

A lovely place for a walk. Glad the soup was a great success. Maybe you should get someone else to do the washing up. That's what I do.

A great rural scene just looking out at our little Friesians and thought I had best go and get a shot .. maybe tonights shot..

[Dawn]

Relaxing and love mushroom soup

[Bep]

Lovely countryside. Glad your soup was a success!

[Lois]

Peaceful countryside!

[Phil Howcroft]

nice picture, I hope the mushroom soup was nice too :)

[Maggiemae]

I have found that bought mushroom soup nowadays is just as good. Mushrooms are for photographs now! Doesn't look too autumny here - lots of green and quiet countryside!

[Jane Pittenger]

Sounds like a wonderful soup and a lovely hike. Beautiful countryside

A lovely scene and capture

@maggiemae Believe me maggie I a man not one who makes soup but we have so many mushrooms I just fancied making some. Not sure whether I will make any more though! It was a faff!
