Photograph taken in the Durbar Room at Osborne House, Isle of Wight. The room was designed as a collaboration by John Lockwood Kipling and architect Bhai Ram Singh and is an ornate, breathtaking, meringue of interior decoration. Not even got to the table decoration yet! Image shows part of a huge room with tall ceilings, covered in intricate white plaster patterns in an Indian style. Down the centre of the room is a large dining table with numerous place settings. Up the middle of the table is what can only be described as a tropical paradise - small palm trees, ferns, bouquets of flowers - lots of lush greenery (all artificial obvs). In the background is a tourist engrossed in the artefacts in a display case against the wall. Osborne House was the summer residence of Queen Victoria and is run by English Heritage today.

Photograph of the front of Osborne House, Queen Victoria's beloved holiday home and place of death on the Isle of Wight. Built in an Italianate style. Cream-coloured, fancy building, in essentially two cubes of different sizes and a tall rectangular tower with fancy windows and balustrading. Another wing is out of shot on the right but it casts shadows across the scene. Flag flying atop the tower amd blue sky overhead. It looks like summer but it was actually a beautiful autumn day! Osborne House is run by English Heritage and is a wonderful place to visit. Not a royalist but a fan of beautiful architecture, gardens and the coastline. Could spend a week looking at the incredible paintings, sculptures and interior features!

Photograph taken looking out through a window of Swiss Cottage in the grounds of Osborne House, Isle of Wight. The window is full of circular panes of clear glass through which is a beautiful autumn tree. The cottage was built in 1853 so the royal children could play at being adults, away from the main palace. Osborne House was the summer residence of Queen Victoria.

Shorter days, cooler mornings, and plenty of headtorch runs — 190 km in the bag this month as the year heads toward its finish line.
