And well they might do! They had escaped into the wood from an adjoining field.

Fairy Grotto II
It occurs to me this would be the equivalent of a ‘potential barn conversion’ to fairies or other little folk.

Wrong Turning?…….nah!
I was out on my bicycle this morning. I’d looked at the map before I started out and thought I had a fair idea of the route. But when I found myself on a main A road it was clear I’d taken a wrong turn somewhere. I turned off the road at the next available turning in the direction I wanted to go. Although it was signposted as a cul-de-sac, I decided to venture forth – it’s often the case that the country roads round here end up as a permissive farm track of some form or other. I happened upon an old guy walking his dog and stopped to ask if I could get through to a road if I continued down the track – he gave me directions, this way and that and up the hill and then take a sharp left down the concrete road. I continued on my way after thanking him and wishing him a good walk. When I saw this scene, with the leaf covered track and Autumn colours, I just had to stop and take a shot. I think you can guess I was quite pleased to take a wrong turn. (The full size version shows evident of camera shake – a body trying to hold a camera still isn’t going to be helped by a racing heart that’s trying to push blood through older arteries!)

Unloved Bowser
Taking a short cut through a piece of woodland – to avoid a waterlogged footpath – I found this old bowser rotting away in the undergrowth.
I must admit, I relish a reason to stray from the marked footpath – with a care to leave nothing more than footprints (but not flat wild flowers!), of course.
