Times they are a changing….

Autumn’s in full swing and the trees are a riot of colour.
A walk in the woods here at this time of year is truly beautiful – more than that infact, breathtaking! The colours in the rowan and cherry a fiery red, the golden leaves of the aspen are falling in a waterfall of colour and sound.
This is without doubt my favourite time of year. Mental not to self “must take some photos to post here”

Autumn’s approaching….

I get the feeling in the last couple of days that our recent spell of sunshine is summers final flurry. The Ospreys have left, the Swallows are massing, and the first few Geese honked overhead as I was walking home this evening – there’s a chill in the air that’s been absent for the last few months too. The birch leaves seem to have been the first to feel it, just starting to yellow in places. Caught in the midday sun you might think it’s the golden green of summer you’re seeing but in the last of the evening light you know, Autumn’s approaching……

Emily goes native

woodlandtrust — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:12:46 +0000

A bouquet of beautiful native saplings for top young rider Emily Llewellyn from Debbie Nicholls of the Woodland Trust. Let’s hope we can help other riders plant native trees .

Watching Ollie

Floss kept an eye on Oliver Townend (spot the grey horse in the distance) for tips . Didn’t work ‘cos she only got as far as Fence Four. Guess what it’s called – the Leaf Pit! Perhaps one for the Woodland Trust to sponsor ?

Burghley champions

woodlandtrust — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:10:14 +0000

There have been times at these Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials when Freddie and I have felt like a couple of asses. But sights like this and news that one rider already wants Woodland Trust help to plant trees on their land makes us feel just champion. Home time.

…and nerves of…?

Freddie couldn’t think of a suitable ‘tree’ analogy for how to survive Burghley’s famous Trout Hatchery. Pretty sure I’m going to get a good watering. Just what a Woodland Trust sapling needs.
