Second look!

A second visit, with 3 friends. I still haven't been everywhere but it has more and more appeal. The woodland floor is covered with the fresh green leaves of bluebells. There are a few clumps of primroses alongside the access track. A bright yellow-green Golden Saxifrage grows alongside the damp woodland boundary with the neighbouring wood. Scarlet Elf Cups glow on the damp, mossy logs amongst the leaf litter.

                                                        Primrose - primula vulgaris

                                                  Opposite leaved Golden Saxifrage

Sarcoscypha coccinea - Red Elf cup

I'm anxiously awaiting leaf burst to identify the trees - at first sight they are a mix of oak, ash and beech, with hazel and holly at a lower level.

At last!

Another item on my Wish List can be ticked off - I've bought a wood! 

Its about 10 miles from my house, not too big at 3 acres and has all the attributes I've been looking for - private access, off road parking, a stream  and bluebells.

My Solicitor has been appointed and its fingers crossed for the next few weeks!
