More plants coming to life

Honeysuckle - Lonicera periclymenum when I see honeysuckle it invokes the memory of walking down the path of a large old house that had been split into three large houses each with it's own driveway, as I approached the scent overwhelmed me, I had not seen the the plants in the many times I had visited but today they were in flower, I found them in the old walled garden - one of the walls was covered in honeysuckle the sight and smell was instantly burned on my memory wall, have not been down that driveway in over 10 years and often wonder if the gardens are still there.

Sunday 11 January

Windy & Cool

Took all the decorations off the tree for this year, we will put them away till next year.

The sky was on fire with the rising sun

Our home is beyond the trees on the skyline

This was a sad moment, one of the ancient Beech in Burgh Wood lost a large limb, it does not look good for this tree.

I wonder how many generations of children have swung across the gully from that limb, there was always a rope dangling from it.

This part of the wood has been neglected and needs a bit of restoration

Some thing to make us smile - people come to see our Kingfisher

and he rarely disappoints

one of the new nestboxes that has been put up in Burgh Wood, these are made by the children during the holidays. Most are excellent.

This is the ancient Beech that was felled a few weeks ago it already had a lot of old initials carved into it most unreadable, this is fresh, I often wonder which tree I carved mine into when I was around ten years old I know the area but could I find the tree? I doubt it as I remember climbing on to the first branch, happy days.
