Today was a really fabulous day....we saw so much of this stunning countryside , the colours of the trees are amazing...the rivers, towns, farms everything is so picturesque...photos cannot capture the beauty of the place. But...this little quilt shop was a real highlight...full of old quilts for sale...dating back to 1850.. Peter and I really enjoyed chatting to the owner ....and I bought the quilt I am holding...made in the early 1900 s...happy happy me!

Covered bridges in Vermont, near the town of Grafton...they are so beautiful and how lucky to see the horses passing through....

The Saugerties Lighthouse, situated on the mudflats of the Hudson River, this morning Peter and I walked out through the tidal wetland to see it. Not your usual looking lighthouse. The second story is a Bed and Breakfast, booked out for the rest of the year.

The Hancock Shaker Village...was closed by the Shaker Ministry in 1960 but opened as a museum in 1961. This was a real joy to visit , I have always loved the Shaker furniture but to see this whole village just as it used to be was sensational.

View from Mount Greylock, the highest point in Massachusetts.  There were 360 degree views , all beautiful. 

Penn Street Station  34 Street..here we are waiting for our train to New Jersey where we will pick up our RV (campervan )... Love Art Deco .

After picking up our van in Middletown we headed for Saugerties in upstate NY...using a Tomtom for the first time...so useful..this was one of our first glimpses of the colourful trees!
