A Walk in the Forest.
With trees in mind it was good to walk through this ancient but managed forest on a mild and sunny December day.There are quite a few ancient coppiced hornbeam trees here, just waiting to be climbed and sat in.

Lichen, mosses and fungi have a magical a quality, they have held a fascination for me for as long as I can remember.
