Sunday at the wood



A beautiful sunny day with a definite hint of Spring  in the air. The main job was to finish the Scots Pine felling around the cabin to widen the views of the pond and let more sun in from the south. We never need an excuse for a bonfire,  and a fierce blaze soon consumed a huge pile of pine brash and holly . Lunch in the cabin, warmed by the wood burner while waiting for our home-made pasties to heat up...

...wood and cabin life - difficult to beat . The deer stalkers bagged one early this morning, and later a group of about 15 fallow were seen bounding through the wood  on the other side of the pond. We hope they decide to stay there.  To top a good, productive  day, Sarah was tending the bonfire  and looked up to see a red kite and two buzzards gliding  in a thermal,  in a patch of clear blue sky.
