Our Autumn Walk

We went for a lovely Autumn walk yesterday. We had fun rustling the leaves with our feet and throwing them in the air. We found lots of horse chestnuts. We saw some cattle in the shed and some still in the field. We saw Killygarry Church, graveyard and Killygarry old school, which is being converted into a house at the moment.
