Saturday 2nd July

Another lovely morning I got out for an early (ish) walk, the view across the valley towards Oakhanger was stunning.

Into the Beech woods where the contrast in light and temperature was like entering an ancient building.

Across the valley and into the Orchard where a housing estate for flying and wriggly things seems to have been built.

Then through the cow pasture which was alive with small butterflies (Small heath)?

And then back home where a poppy has seeded itself on the path.....lovely.
