On my drive to work this morning, whilst meandering in the general direction of the Grand Estate of Lord and Lady Mantle, I glimpsed the above scene. An emergency stop later and some darned fine reversing and I was stepping out to wonder at its beautiful other worldliness. A dank and dark tunnel of lichen encrusted, stunted twisted trees collapsing over a murky brook, which on occasion is most likely a torrent. Dry stone walls repossessed by vegetation bordered the scene as a crocodile creeped silently through the gloom, preparing to pounce.
Then I jumped back in the car and continued on my way, back into the sunshine and a glorious spring day.
Wild and beautiful!

Brilliant. And of course it won’t be long before the whole scene is eclipsed by foliage for another year.

Which in its way is good too 🙂
