The Woodlanders.

Well, here we are in the sunny side of Yorkshire. We had the key delivered on Friday and on Saturday trundled off down the motorway to our woodland.

We drove straight past as it looked so different in full leaf! And what a wonderland or wild flowers and grasses, trees and even wild strawberries.

We had taken some fruit trees to plant so I got down to that while OH started snipping off dead wood. 3 and a half hours passes so quickly, it was only thirst and hunger that drove us home.

The view from the top is over our wood but you can look along the valley and see the Humber. It was glistening in sunlight at that time as the tide was out, just a brown streak yesterday.

Isn't it wonderful! I feel so priviledged to be able to have this little oasis of trees and birds as a retreat. There is a lot of work to do but none of it is urgent or day by day. A complete delight and better anyday than leaving money in a building society earning zilch.
