However, I am always thankful to fellow bloggers and the internet when images of this wonderful season are shared. In an instant, from the comfort of your armchair, you can be enjoying blue skies and Autumnal colour 😊 just like the image I share below taken by 'New Forest Explorer'. Doesn't it look lovely.
Cadnam is a village situated in Hampshire, England, within the boundaries of the New Forest National Park. The village has existed since the medieval period. Cadnam is first recorded in the 1270s as Cadenham. The name apparently means the farmstead ("ham") of a man named Cadda.
The Cadnam Oak, at the south-east corner of a crossroads in Cadnam, is thought to be a "boundary tree" of the New Forest. Legend has it that the Cadnam Oak puts forth green leaves on Christmas Day, being leafless immediately before and after the day. The current tree is actually a descendant of the first Cadnam Oak, but the fame still continues. Popular tradition even has it that the tree only buds on Old Christmas Day on 6 January, refusing to acknowledge the Gregorian calendar change of 1752 ... if any reader should be near to Cadnam on Christmas Day or even Old Christmas Day and would care to check out the leaves on The Cadnam Oak do please share with us what you find!
There were still a fair few green leaves clinging on in Cadnam

In the meantime after a lovely imagined walk where this image was taken, it must be time for a refreshing cuppa ... tea is my choice but you may prefer coffee.
Thank you for visiting this blog.
I wish you a lovely day and a good week ahead.
All the best Jan
Autumn is one of my favourite seasons and I am so grateful to the bloggers that share its beauty.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photograph. I love autumn and am so sad to see it going.
ReplyDeleteThat's really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBright autumn days are just glorious. We've turned a corner here, and the weather has been typically Novemberish - gloomy and overcast. Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a beautiful image. Our trees are bare, the wild winds have shrivelled the leaves and ripped them from the trees before they could turn colour. I hope it is warmer with you but I have succumbed to beginning the week with a hot chocolate . . . I'll pretend I'm in France!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Debbie
The New Forest is such a beautiful area and that photograph really does it justice. I wonder if any bloggers on here will seek out the truth of the legend of the Cadnam Oak - it would be fun.
ReplyDeleteAutumn is a beautiful season, so colorful.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great week!
Nice post about Cadman, love the autumn colours, Jan.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of autumn. However, I am stunned by the changes. I like hot and dry weather for my health. Those are interesting facts and legends. Those I do enjoy.

ReplyDeleteLast night we had a sudden temperature drop and it has been really cold and frosty today. They keep saying snow but I donno if we'll get it in Central Scotland. Hope it isn't too cold down your way.
Autumn in Ontario is a very beautiful season as well.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful place! I also like Autumn's colours & atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteI know British people drink more tea than coffee ☕
Great post! Have a nice week ahead of you ☀
What a beautiful photo... YES.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we didn't see Cadnam on our journey from Kent to Cornwell. But we enjoyed gardens in Sussex, Dorset, Devon and Cornwell as well as some beautiful seaside villages and the South West Coast Path.
And we enjoyed every cup of tea and marveled at the beautiful cups and pots.
Greetings from Viola - Nice autumn for you.
A friendly hug comes to you in beautiful England.
p.s. This morning we had the first snow... Christmas in sight.
Autumn is also my favorite season. It is full of my favorite colors! Have a nice Thanksgiving.

ReplyDeleteI'm a coffee person myself! There's a little shop by my house that I go to quite often. Recently it's been fun to bring my coffee back home in the mornings to enjoy in my kitchen. I just got a fresh cabinet painting and it's more fun to spend time in there now. Makes it cozier for autumn season too. Thanks for sharing your blog!
Autumn is beautiful, especially when the leaves are bright. What a cool teacup.
ReplyDeleteEl otoño es precioso, a mà también me gusta. Besos.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you would want to walk there. It's unbelievably beautiful. A part of England I think I would like to explore!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely how we can visit all over the world at our computer. Beautiful scene and neat story behind it too. Love your Autumn tea cup too :)
