Why a wood?

A power cut terminated my connection on the last post so I didn't finish what I was saying.
My one follower!!(Hello Carrie!)asked me why we had bought a wood. Well, we have some money in savings that are earning nothing and anyway, we have no one to leave any estate to, not that there is that much except the farm. So we decided to purchase a little more land for the sole intention of quiet leisure and as an inheritance for the Woodland Trust.
It is also a sort of holiday home. We wanted somewhere we could travel to for a day but also somewhere peaceful where we could camp for a week and still have nice places to walk the dogs and have a pub lunch. We can leave the farm animals under the watchful eye of neighbours if we are not too far away and can get back for any emergencies. In the summer, only the chickens need day by day care, and they could come with us!!
So, there you go...a little bit of land to preserve and enjoy.
