I'm going to have a nice winter walk now then, up into the hills
And ther's an Ash tree, no leaves on it because it is Winter.
And Ivy all over the trunk which the wildlife will be enjoying.
So I'm going to go on my way
Catch up with you in a bit!
Well we're looking towards the west and the setting Sun ish
And that's the small hamlet of Henley in Dorsetshire
And a very idilic place to live
You can see which way the prevailing wind is here carn't you!
Well that way and comming over here, and we don't half get some winds up here
This is a nice old Holly tree which has been left by the hedge cutters
Of course it's an evergreen and its got ivy growing up through it.
And thats good for wildlife, there will be Holly Blue caterpillars both on the Ivy and the Holly
I carn't see any berries, I think what happens in the wild is the berries tend to come in the Autumn and by January they are all gone
eaten by the Thrushes and Blackbirds, they deserve it don't they!
Oh, it's not very deep!
Well that didn't take long did it!
Now on my tree identification course, this is a Willow Tree!
probably grown up from a fence post or something
Nice to see them about though!
Here's a nice bit of winter scenery, one of those old Cow Parsley plants, and if you notice in paintings they will quite often have:
these in the foreground and then a scene in the distance.
And it will just give a sense of perspective and proportion.
There we go I'm told the light along the top of that hedge is very picturesque!
Here we have the magnificent English Countryside.
The majestic oak, and this is on our way home.
And this is a very old path, takes you down to Buckland Newton.
And I found an old halfpenny down here once.
An old Victorian halfpenny, you wonder where it came from, who lost it?
What was he going to buy? Did he get into trouble?
I wasn't much good to me, but I've got it knocking around somewhere!
look at those clouds! Lovely isn't it!
