🔼 We jump off the bus at the park, home of the local football team. Memories of watching the game whilst sheltering from the sun beneath this grand old beech tree

That’s all for now. It’s been a difficult selection (I took 300+ photos). Don’t miss Tuesday Treats for a riot of flowers

We used to climb that as kids. I think they still do, the bark is very glossy, like it’s been polished

What a glorious place to take a walk. It is so lush and green, and the trees even provide their own stories.

It’s a very old woodland, worked woodland with much evidence of coppicing
