Ride to Ayot St Lawrence

Today, Sunday, October 17, I had a bicyle ride to Ayot St Lawrence, a short distance from my home in Wheathampstead. Ayot is a well-known village where George Bernard Shaw, the playwright lived from 1906 to 1950. His house, known as Shaw's Corner, is a National Trust property and can be visited by the general public. Google Shaw's Corner to find details.
A unique feature in the garden in a small hut where Shaw composed his work, the hut being on a turntable so that he could follow the sun by moving the hut around. Autumn is coming in fast and the trees are tropping their leaves. A quite new feature in this part of Hertfordshire in the red kite population. It's nice to see this wonderful birds in flight in the early mornings when it is peaceful and a mist lingers over the countryside.
