Time for one last walk. The Wychwood forest.

Very close to us at West Cottage is a forest called Wychwood. It used to stretch over 180 square miles and was counted as a Royal Forest of William the Conqueror in the 1086 Doomsday book.It's a mixed forest of pines, beech, oak, maple, and the most glorious, tall bracken undergrowth.It has a circular public path thru it and we chose to have a walk here today.At one point, the path wend out of the forest......and we stopped and looked over our beautiful Oxfordshire countryside......and the golden fields around us.Then we found a majestic oak and had a rest and listened to the forest.Summer is almost over and we can see autumn approaching fast.Tomorrow I have to leave the country and return to the city, but I'm glad we got to walk thru this magical forest before I had to go.Sharing with Judith and the mosaic bunch, and I'll come visit everyone after I land in Vancouver.
