Return to the little wood!

Visible to anyone in the world

A bit of a cool day today, with only a little sunshine. It felt quite cold and there was something of a sea mist lingering in the air.

After doing my morning chores, shopping, cleaning. etc. I walked  down to the park, then along the country lane at a slow pace! I walked passed the cemetery,  on the way down towards the little wood.

I then stopped at the little wood (aunty's wood we call it!) to sit down for a while, on one of the benches in the centre of the wood. No one was about  walking about in the wood today,  probably because the weather is much cooler, so everyone stayed near their home instead. It was very peaceful in the wood.

Everything was pristine and tidy in the little wood, all the litter was  gone,  different from the last time, when it looked like a bomb had hit it!  when I had to pick all the rubbish up.  In fact, it looked like someone else, had actually been back in there to tidy up again!

Branches that had once been strewn about,  had now been placed into a nice neat pile. Someone had even made some little houses  for the hedgehogs and placed a new bird box on one of the trees! 

Children had placed some pine cones on top of a shelf, all in a perfect row! There were also some pretty decorated pebbles and lovely wild flowers in a vase!

Birds were sweetly singing, there were only the crows cawing,  and the wood pidgeons,  who were just softly cooing, in the wood. Peace and order had once again been restored!

I think someone else who comes here,  must like this little wood as much as I do!
