That's what we had this morning.
I mentioned previously that we had had a very cold night (for Britain) on Tuesday and that continued last night with temperatures forecast to go down to about the same as the night before i.e. around 27F. Amanda put the thermometer out first thing this morning and after leaving it for 15 minutes it read 19F. 
It should be above freezing tonight! 
I'll leave you with some pictures in our garden.
It will be December tomorrow!
Houses.
We have lived in Knighton for eight months now and I have walked past this house on the main road through the town centre many times without noticing it at all. That may seem unbelievable but it is set back from the road in a narrow little courtyard so perhaps I might be excused. Even so it is the oldest house in Knighton dating back to the fourteenth century and I managed to miss it until now.
The facade was actually replaced in the 17th century but the house behind it is a Cruck-framed construction from the 14th century. I have no idea how large, or small, it is inside. I have now also added this to the the Knighton web pages.
Water
About a week ago we had some heavy rain. I mean HEAVY! It went on for a day or two and the stream which runs alongside our garden changed a little in that time. This it what it looks like under normal conditions.
After the rain stopped it was like this.
We are not in any danger of being flooded but it was moderately impressive all the same. It seems worse when you can hear the rushing water as well. The weather is a bit different now. Clear sky and sun this morning but one pays a penalty for that. Last nigh was the coldest that we have experienced since we've been here at, according to the weather forecast, 27F. Amanda looked at the Min/Max thermometer in her greenhouse and that read 20F. We don't want too much of that.
Fungi.
This is an 'Inkcap' fungus soon after it appeared above ground. So why 'Inkcap'?
After a few days it starts to open up from the bottom when you may see why it has that particular name.
A few days later it has progressed a bit more.
And then a bit more.
Until the final stage. Not a pretty sight.
This post is an adjunct to the previous post prompted by Annecyborn's comment.
She suggested that from autumn the next colour stage might be white. This must be what she meant. 
With regard to the Rowan here is a small tree in summer with red berries.
This is our first autumn since moving into our new house so we thought to go on a short walk to look at the autumn colours. Nothing special to report except perhaps for the sheep. When I looked over the gate to take the photograph they all stopped and looked at me but they didn't smile for the photograph.
Pretty don't ya think? I've made the pictures a little smaller than usual so that they could be arranged in pairs but clicking on each picture will display the usual larger version.
You know what autumn means don't you? The next stage is winter. 
You may have noticed, or not, that I haven't posted for a few weeks and there will probably not be another post for a few more weeks yet. This is because we have the builders in to do some maintenance on the house outside and inside. 
We cannot easily go out for the day and leave the builders to continue on their own so it is unlikely, but not impossible, that we will be able to do some trips until all the building work is finished.
We do have a number of places lined up for a visit as soon as we have some free time but until then you will just have to contain your excitement. 
(Who am I kidding?)
I planned a trip for today. I was going on my own because Amanda thought it might be a bit too strenuous for her. Amanda went off to a Coffee Morning (sounds pretty strenuous to me) and I left the house about 20 minutes later. I hadn't got very far when I realised that I was still wearing ordinary shoes so I rushed back and changed into walking boots and set off once again.
I still made it to the bus stop 5 minutes before the bus was due to arrive. I was planning to go to a place called 'Dolley Green', which is in the middle of nowhere, and walk back to Knighton. When the bus arrived the driver told me that the bus doesn't go through Dolley Green anymore and I was so surprised I got off.
It was only as the bus disappeared around the corner that I remembered that the driver did say it now goes directly to Norton instead of the round-about way through Dolley Green. So what's significant about that? Well, when I planned the trip originally I had planned to start in Norton and then discovered that Dolley Green would be a better place to start from. So, if I had my wits about me, I could have stayed on the bus and travelled to Norton and used my original route. Doubly irritating.
I will do that trip on another day and I'll tell you about it when I do but for now, in the afternoon, we did a short walk instead.
We went up onto Garth Hill and saw this lovely view over Knighton with lots of Bluebells.
Further along the path there were more Bluebells.
We had been along this path before but not during Bluebell time. A little way back we spotted a path going up the hill which we certainly hadn't traversed and Amanda said that she wanted to explore that on the way back.
So, on the way back, we explored. It was moderately steep and went up, and up, and up. We finally arrived at a little lane which afford us this view.
I wonder what that large lumpy hill left of centre on the horizon is? As we are looking toward Ludlow it could be either Brown Clee Hill or Titterstone Clee Hill. Can't say for certain.
We made our way down the lane and eventually to home.
When we moved to this area we expected to find fossils at some stage but not quite so soon and so easily. Amanda turned over a rock in the garden and there they were.
These are brachiopods; a form of shellfish. We haven't identified the rock yet let alone the brachiopods. That will have to come later.
