No one has picked the apples on the miniature tree - they are edible but would take a lot for a pie

Had a walk up through Spring Wood onto what we call the Barrow Field, I have no doubt this will be built on in the near future, the new estate has expanded toward Duxbury for the moment, they will eventually get round to the Barrow. We returned through Burgh Wood - the valley that runs through it makes it almost secretive as there are parts that are almost inaccessible, at least it is safer for the wildlife.

Crested Dog's-tail - Cynosurus cristatus

Cut-leaved Cranesbill - Geranium dissectum

Perennial Rye-grass - Lolium perenne

Sunday 6 April

We made for the Barrow Field on Eaves Green, to visit the pond that was put in when the new houses were built

This is one of the old Beech in Burgh Wood - it's huge, the kids use this one to attach a rope swing, to cross the gully, none on it at the moment so I did not get to try it out :)

The new pond and some of the houses, Sue has seen Great Crested Newts in it

We only managed a frog

Hornbeam - Carpinus betulus

Female Flowers

Very pretty

Some sort of shelter probably built by the local school children - it was quite good

Frosty morning

Photos for today are of our outward walk, through the park then Primrose Hill, through slippery log area of Spring Wood then up to the Barrow Field on Eaves Green.
