There's such a soft beauty about the light and muted colours of winter mornings, as if Nature is just easing gently into the day, slowly turning up the brightness. Of course I can never resist a gate, and this one was very temptingly open to take me into the ancient woodland beyond. #peakdistrict

A BBC television cameraman waits for King's College Chapel choir to process down the Sanctuary at the start of rehearsals for the annual Carols from King's broadcast. The programme is recorded early in December every year and broadcast on BBC Two on Christmas Eve.

A quirky pet nat from Argentina that's more hipster than a bearded tattooist from Shoreditch. With a camper van. Who surfs.

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." - George Eliot
There's such a soft beauty about the light and muted colours of autumn mornings, as if Nature is just easing gently into the day, slowly turning up the brightness. I walked along this narrow lane through the rusting bracken and berries, down into the Hope Valley, where the last mists still drifted around the foothills.

The CWB German Road Trip #2 — Schrödinger’s Lemberger-Off
My first and also not-first Lemberger. I rather preferred it to the local Pinots, sorry Spätburgunders.

South Africa's best rosé - apparently; @timatkin a fan.
Initially a bit underwhelmed (due to the weight of expectation), with time and aeration I get what it's doing:
