Day 56

As I was home early and it is summer holidays, we all went for a walk this evening. The fine weather returned after a short break so it was a fabulous hot evening. The group up the forest is almost completely dried out now and it makes for a much more comfortable walking experience.

The view from the top was a little hazy and there wasn’t much new of interesting. I shot this thistle head on the verge of bursting into flower – they really are a fantastic thing.

We continued around the loop without much of note happening. The poor old tadpoles are really struggling at this stage and could seriously do with a bit of rain. The foxgloves which have been fabulous this year are beginning to look a bit the worse for wear.

The light in the forest in the evening is quite stunning at this time of year. I must try to get up a bit later some evening as I should think it would be even better.

It was nice to get out for a walk after a day in the city. I’ve been slowing down a bit over the last couple of weeks and need to get back in the swing of things.
