Chilly first thing but beautiful morning in #Royden thereafter. Coffee and carbs at Benty’s which apparently has a Halloween trail. 👻

A sunlit forest clearing with slender trees, leafy undergrowth, and a dirt path winding through it. A sunlit forest path winds through trees and undergrowth with exposed roots and ferns on either side. A rustic wooden gate covered with vibrant red vines stands between stone buildings under a clear blue sky. A tranquil pond surrounded by lush green trees reflects the clear blue sky above. Green holly leaves with sharp points are adorned with clusters of bright red berries, set against a blurred natural background. A spiky chestnut burr is split open on a tree branch, revealing several brown chestnuts inside surrounded by large green leaves.
