They are coming to get you...

Hoping every one had a wicked Halloween. I spent mine in a state of near sozzled~ness. Pub walks, entertained some stubborn trick or treaters, then settled down for the usual dish of gore from the telly. Apart from the brilliant Psychoville Halloween Special, there was this extra special Agathe Christie drama - well to me at least - that was shown on ITV sometime last week, with the amazing Zoe Wanamaker. I missed it when it was on so I watched it again last night.

Why special? Because Mark Gatiss wrote the screenplay! I love the guy and I'm a big fan of horror and crime dramas. And as if they knew, they had him all over BBC Four in the last two weeks. Brilliant stuff. The writing was impeccable. I'll probably buy this on DVD.

Now I hope I can go to bed and get some sleep. I'll be busy buried in a book tomorrow but might probably find the time to go for a walk and put more pictures up.

**Wasn't that Halloween google doodle amazing?

What did you get up to this Halloween?

Autumn days out: Leith Hill, Dorking

Leith Hill is the highest point in south-east England, although frankly it didn't feel like much of an effort climbing all the way up to the top where there is an impressive Gothic tower - but then again, most of Surrey is relatively flat. The view across the English channel is breathtaking, however on a foggy day it can be a bit difficult to see. Still, if you enjoy walking in rugged woodland, and across beautiful countrysides, you are going to love making your way there.

Here is a guide on how to get there and walk all the way up.
