A Walk In The Woods

About 40 miles from home is a village named Batsford – on the edge of which is a large estate
and arboretum. It was a brilliant sunny day today with a temperature of 17C so we decided to visit the arboretum for a nice leisurely stroll followed by a nice cool pint in the local pub.
I took a few snaps on the way






Towards the end of the walk we sat on a bench under some trees and out of nowhere came a swarm of ladybirds – we were covered with them and Libby was not too pleased because they were getting tangled in her hair.  We stood up and shook our clothes and within a minute or two were gone. I managed to get a photo of a straggler.

A lovely walk with you Alan! Watch out for those carnivorous lady bugs! :-)

we have scenery like that in OZ would you believe - the land of extremes! - nice pics

I must say nice pics ----a lot better than his jokes

Some beautiful Autumnal colours there Alan. The estate appears to be well kept.
