Autumn's Gold

As soon as the leaves on our Cornus (Dogwood tree) turn red/orange/and yellow, it also signals the start of our local beech tree forest beginning it's coppery autumn journey.

Many of last years leaves still remain crisp and crunchie underfoot. Walking through them conjures up lots of nostalgic childhood memories of times past.

"I was drinking in the surroundings: air so crisp you could snap it with your fingers and greens in every lush shade imaginable offset by autumnal flashes of red and yellow."

Wendy Delsol, Stork 

It is no wonder that these tall, elegant, noble trees are known as "the Queen of trees." 

 "Shall we take the higher path or the low one?" 

Autumn so far has been unseasonably warm. Something that has been very confusing for the plantlife, and for many animals, especially those that hibernate.

Soon we are having a short break in an old country pub. Hoping to take some good walks, enjoy delicious food, and visit interesting places.........................
