A real change in the weather today. Yesterday I'd needed warm trousers and a body warmer over my dressing gown to keep warm out on the terrace for my morning's quiet time watching the wild waves while today the air was warm with not a wave to be seen on the flat sea.
Our group walk today was back in Coed Tamsin. A dozen of us walked through the wood with Bob pointing out interesting things such as badger tracks and an otter holt.
There were fungi to be seen too including King Alfred's cakes. on dead ash trunks felled by ash die-back, the fungus that may eventually see the loss of this country's ash trees. Fortunately some ash trees including some in Coed Tamsin have become resistant to the fungus.
After our walk through the woods and time to eat our lunches in the clearing we headed back to Bob and Felicia's cottage with its wonderful woodland garden.
Afterwards we sat outside in the very pretty cottage garden for tea, biscuits and even ice-creams for those that wanted. People wandered round the garden admiring the plants or sat at the table simply chatting. I ended up not getting home until 6.00. Much later than I usually do after a Sunday walk.
The cottage almost out of sight beyond the pond and bountiful vegetable garden.
