This is a special for my great friend Karen, (@wildelycreative ) who bivvies in this wood when she can, but it’s been ages now…(and with apologies to the real Walker.)

The top of the back of the gate into the woods, with one of the first mentions of Veddw (Vedow) that I have found. (it’s below the bit pictured)

This is the other side of that gate into the woods:

There are not many flowers out yet. The pleasures are subtle – Karen is good at subtle.

Moss – and bark:

Bark...

Bark…and moss…

Anyone like deer and squirrels?

Wildlife anyone?

We have got fed up with seeing young trees destroyed. We believe that the bigger older ones can survive the chewing so we have cleared many of the saplings to open up views of the magnificent tree trunks. I’m a sucker for a beautiful vertical.

Well – varieties of vertical. The empty spaces will fill with erythoniums and bluebells soon.

There are some flowers, – snowdrops still holding on next to the wrecked car dumped in next door’s field.

The snowdrops are left, along with a rose and a lilac, at the site of a ruined cottage – so ruined as to be hard to recognise. I know it was there though, from the maps and the path leading to it. The car? No idea. it’s very old!

And then..

It’s important to look up…

and down

Those are the emerging Erythonium Pagoda which will shortly fill the woods – Charles adds 50 every year. (more when we’re feeling rich).

More bark for those who love trees.

But if you get bored..

And maybe you are bored now. Could come back when the erythoniums are out.. or the bluebells…
