Mud

A sign of things to come. When the sun is warm and spring is in full flow these little shoots will be bluebell flowers. It is just as well that these pictures don't come with sound, we were 50 metres from a dual carriageway.

It is said that "When gorse is out of blossom, kissing's out of fashion.". It's lucky that it's in flower all year then.

Ah, mud!

This path is notoriously muddy in winter.

Before winter 2013/4 this was dense woodland. The storms made the ground very wet and then the wind blew most of the trees down. They have only recently started removing the fallen trees.

Now that is what I call mud!
These tracks are from bringing the timber out. Each tyre track is about 1 metre wide.

And this is where they stacked it.

As you can imagine, we brought quite a lot of mud home with us!
