It’s a cracking Indian summer – the sun is unbelievably warm, the air clear and nature is having a bit of a freakout. Although it’s clearly autumn now, everything looks beautiful in the wonderfully soft light we seem to have. Unable to stay at home, I headed out to the Chase yet again, and explored Brocton and the Sherbrook Valley yet again. I’m so over the end of summer. This autumn is a stunner. As usual, there’s more on my 365daysofbiking journal.

Hi Bob, I didn’t know anything about the microwave backbone. Thanks to you for the nudge, I’ve come across this interesting reading http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/features/backbone/index.shtml
Do you know what’s planned for the tower once the backbone’s dismantled? Surely not being demolished? — It’s as iconic as the windmill by Riddians Bridge in Aldridge. Oh, that’s in the future 😉
Beautiful tribute to Autumn. Love the dog, and the light in the pictures. I notice the Pye Tower seems to be undergoing the same fate as the BT tower in London…all microwave technology being taken down?
Hi, my school run 6 days a week takes me from Heath Hayes to Lichfield and normally i travel via cannock wood/upper longdon/chorley.
on that route is “Dollymakers hill”
any ideas how it got its name?
cheers
HI Steve
possibly corn dollies, made to celebrate harvest time..pre-christian connection ?
cheers
David Evans
Also another kind of wooden “dollies” were used in wash tubs pre-washing machines..a sort of wooden prongs attached to end of spade handle..turning washing in a tub
