So London has gone back open sewer systems, that's nice.

Morning all. The sun shone and I had an amazing walk capturing a few shots along the way.
Himley Hall was looking resplendent in the early morning light as was the rest of the estate.

Liz’s Photography Bucket List Update - Can you help her finish the list by sharing, commenting, liking or tagging anyone who might help?
Liz is 17 and has Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour. She was diagnosed in January. In September she was told she only had around 12 weeks left to live. Photography is her passion - so many of you have helped her to realise so many dreams that we thought you might like an update.
Still to achieve:
Help film a movie - No offers at all for this one - if you are filming a movie we would love to hear from you!
Photograph a music festival - Liz had offers for this in the summer but sadly was too unwell - she is now hoping that maybe she could photograph a music concert/ gig instead
Take photos of the Christmas markets at Tivoli Gardens - this one won’t be possible now but we hope Liz will be well enough to photograph some UK Christmas markets when they start to appear
Take photos in a fashion shoot at a major fashion house - No offers at all for this one - if you are a fashion house Liz would love to hear from you!
Ticked off the list ✅:
Photograph the rehearsal of a major musical @sixthemusical did one better and let her photograph a live show from the wings last week - we are so grateful to them!
Watch the filming of Would I Lie To You @RobBrydon was the first one to get in touch and say let’s make this happen! Less than a week after the original list was published Liz went to watch it be filmed. She had the most incredible time and still wishes she had taken his photograph!
Have photographs published in as many magazines as possible - magazines have been a tough nut to crack but Liz has had her photographs published in so many national newspapers. We are grateful to @guardian@thetimes@DailyMailUK@DailyMirror@TheSun - All of whom reached out to us directly to publish more of Liz’s photos as well as all of those who have published them. Her photos taken with @rankinphoto will also be in his Hunger magazine which Liz is so grateful for.
Take photographs of the catwalk at London Fashion Week @_charlesjeffrey very kindly invited her to do this. The photos she took there remain some of her favourites. We could not be more grateful.
Photograph circus performers practicing their act - this is planned for next week - watch this space!
Do a photo shoot with professional models: @StormModels very kindly invited her along last week and this was followed by her day with @rankinphoto shooting another brilliant model.
On top of her original bucket list Liz has had so many incredible experiences that she could never have dreamt of adding. From photographing an investiture at Windsor Castle and meeting the Prince and Princess ( @KensingtonRoyal ), to being looked after by incredible photographers who have treated her as their own ( @rheathcote , @GarethGetty ). @dragraceukbbc have also been amazing with her! We are also extremely grateful to Andrew Hepburn at The Times and @jimpowell2002 at The Guardian for giving her official photographer status and to @RE_DailyMail and Edwina for the incredible opportunities they created for us as a family. Liz is also excited to be photographing the @LondonAirAmb next week.
Special thanks also to those who have donated to Liz’s GoFundMe (link in bio) which has allowed us to say yes to every opportunity she has been well enough to take.
You have all taken Liz into your hearts and every single one of you has had a part in making her dreams come true, by liking, sharing and commenting and by giving your love and support. Although we couldn’t name you all, please know how thankful we are to each and every one of you.
