Nov 8th. Today was a special day for Michaela in our office as it was her 21st birthday. We enjoyed a great show in London for the office Christmas outing featuring James Cordon.Great fun had by all. Not to mention Angela dancing in the aisle

Nov 7th. Rita Tinney runs our lettings department in Haslemere, she is massively competent and her advice is clear and precise. She is pictured her with Andrew Lewis the bursar at King Edwards School in Witly, where we are managing some access housing stock.

Nov 6th. We got up early this morning and went down through the feels picking wild mushrooms for breakfast. A combination of relatively warm weather lots of rain and the time of year gave us a good crop breakfast, combined with my bacon and homegrown tomatoes. What more could one ask for.

Nov 5th. What a great day it was today at the Purton shoot.We had a bunch of great friends join us for the day, the weather was so kind and great fun throughout. No massacre occurred and for the few who are shooting for the first time it was a really good introduction to country ways,

Nov 4th. The Willow man. This is a famous landmark situated just outside Bridgwater, over the years it has been burnt down a couple of times so moat was built around it for protection. Sadly modern industry has taken over and what was once an open field is now a large housing estate and a massive Morrison distribution centre.

Nov 3rd 2011.The willows and wetlands Centre in Stoke St Gregory. Somerset. This is the heart of the Willow industry around the Somerset levels. This fish is just an example of the creative artwork formed by willows ranging from baskets just large enough to put in a couple of eggs to this enormous fish, well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Nov 2nd. The Grayshott millennium structure, erected in 2000 on Linden Green in the middle of Grayshott. It is a stainless steel structure and indeed has become part of the village scene over the last two years. Many thought it would be damaged by vandalism but it seems to have remained remarkably untouched.

Nov 1st. Tilford village green the quintessential English village green with all the key ingredients, pub, cricket square, Oak tree and of course a 13th century stone bridg crossing the River Wey,

Oct 31st. 47 High Street, Haslemere. My father purchased this building in the late 1950s and it is from here he started his private medical practice just opposite the Haslemere Museum. He was latterly joined by Dr Peter Abbott. They somehow created a protected tenancy on the first floor. There was a lovely building and looks rather vacant and unused at the moment

Oct 30th it's getting late in the day for rainbows as the sun is normally so low in the sky but at this time of year it is quite rare. I took this shot looking over North Curry Moor although 30 seconds before it was much more clearer and brighter

Oct 29th Brian Jeanes.Is not only the chairman of North Curry Parish Council but he also is the chief hedge trimmer in the area. Again this is a sign of the times of autumn passing into winter, there's a very small gap in the weather window where the ground is hard enough in the fields to get a tractor working without getting bogged down, and hedges are ready for a trim. Trimming in the spring is impossible because of nesting birds

Oct 28th. Sloe picking on North Curry Moor. Last year we bought this very  handy raspberry and sloe basket, it's made of Willow sat on the end of the way stand walking stick but what makes it so useful is that you can stick it in the ground when you're picking berries without fumbling around a plastic bag

Oct 27th. The rains have come to Somerset, after having a really dry spring and summer the last week or so has seen a large amount of rainfall. This is West Sedgemoor with the rynes now nearly full of water I suspect it's only a matter of time until the cattle are moving to higher ground or perhaps inside

Oct 26th Simon Kirby features for the second time this year, today he's a father for the first time, a new baby girl Tabatha. Just look at the smile of his face he looks one very happy chappie.

Oct 25th and Linda Brown has been at Amesbury school for years, now she is the facilities manager and does an excellent job of making sure all is in order. Linda used to work in a solicitor's office in Grayshott from many years but I think she's really done well moving to the school

Oct 24th. Tomorrow I'm doing some work for Amesbury school, I thought I would pop in early and have a look around and I was very sad to see that line of conker trees which used to run between the two sets against feels have gone, a generations of children have abused the trees were sticks and stonesover the years in order to encourage the conkers to fall, I just never realised the damage we were really doing.

Oct 23rd. Sunrise over East Woldhamas the season draws to an end and the clocks are due to go back shortly, there was a lovely sunrise coming up over Liphook to the east although it did seem it was much later than it has been.

Oct 2nd. This is a quite surreal photograph, Sophie the grand daughter of Stuart the butcher was with her father when we dropped off the pigs, Stuart having been the subject of the previous photograph explained to his daughter on my project was and she quite openly asked me to take a photograph of her in grandad's meat store!

Oct 21st. Today was the day that the little piggy's went to market, in reality they went to the abattoir! It was a very lucky day for us as Trading Standards, Defra and Animal Health were all there in their full glory, I have no doubt that if we had arrived in the old trailer, nailed together with old boards we would have been fined, I suspect more than the cost of the new trailer, result.

Oct 20th. Francis Martin today was the annual outing of the Keats golf tournament, we started a bite lat around about 130 and really struggled to get in 18 holes before darkness set in. I played with Francis and property solicitor Paul Gardner

Oct 19th. well with one of the first frosts to have struck it was only a matter of time until the leaves started changing to a spectacular colour. I took this photograph on Headley village green and was struck by the contrast of the autumn colours against some of the trees which had yet to turn

Oct 18th. As we drove into work today we came past Mellow farm in Headley, where at eight o'clock in the morning one could see the first ground frost of the year, I know is very low with the River Wey running through it, but this is surely a sign of things to come, believes already turning

Oct 17th this is a day I really wasn't looking forward to, deep root canal work on a rear molar is not something that comes the top of anyone's agenda, but I have to say Apos my specialist Greek dentist was excellent, he tells me that he did two years extra in dentist school to learn how to do deep cavity work, it was worth every minute of extra study

Oct 16th.There are work in the front garden I've never been great on heights and after I took the Stone cover off the well I thought I would give you a peek of what I saw. Hand dug to 8 1/2 m below ground level there is water at 6 1/2 m mark which I expect to rise as the rain starts to fall during the winter months, we have had a very dry summer

Oct 15th. Today we picked up our new utility/stock trader and most impressive it is to, a ramp, gates and the whole shooting match. It is also large enough to drive on the quad, soon to be put into us by taking the pigs and lambs to the abattoir.

Oct 14th.Now is the time to bring all the unripe and tomatoes into the greenhouse and batten down for the winter. Tonight were due to get our first frost and our first season with, chutney to be made with all the green tomatoes and writing peppers and the like

Oct 13th. Frome in Somerset, today I visited this West Country town to meet our software providers at Expert Agent. I've never realise quite how attractive the town was with cobbled and very steep streets lined with boutique style shops apparently it absolutely heaves in the summer

Oct 12th.When my parents arrived back in Haslemere in the late 1950s we rented a number of houses, the cottage at Shottermill Ponts, was one of them. I vividly remember my father leaning out of the bedroom window with an air rifle shooting at the metal Shell signed which hung over what is now Arnolds GArage

Oct 11th. The Light family, there is a good deal of excitement toda as exchange of contracts on their new home in North Chapel is getting very close. The boys Ben, George and Thomas arrived in the office with their mother Becky .

Oct 10th. The old A3 which used to pass aroun the Devils punchbowl at Hindhead is slowly being dug up, diggers are in and the road is being completely dismantled, soil and planting will take place to reinstate the back to the original woodland. This will now create an enormous piece of common land from just out of Haslemere centre to the edge of Tilford
