It never fails to works its magic. I am at my most content in these woods, away from manmade noise and artificial constraints, right in the centre, off the track. It is here I feel most at home.

It doesn't matter what is going on in the world, what craziness and sadness and busyness there is - a few steps off the track and it's all good, there is zen-like peace to be found out here. The trees stretch heavenward like columns of mighty cathedrals and everything is mindful, aware.

"Mummy, I LOVE this forest... I feel so calm here". I know what you mean, little man. I know exactly what you mean.

Sometimes you have to get off the beaten track to find the right path.

  1. We have to go into the woods at least once a week as it really does re-charge you for the rest of the week :) Looking down at the forest floor is as awe-inspiring as looking up into the stars.

  2. Beautiful, beautiful. I must get out in the woods more. I love those yellow things on the log. I am guessing it is fungi because I have never seen it before.

  3. Yes, fungi. We've seen a lot of species this year
