Woodland walk

It was a beautiful, warm, sunny afternoon and Margaret and I decided to visit Felbrigg Hall, a nearby National Trust property. I left Margaret in the Butler’s Pantry enjoying a cup of tea and started off on a woodland walk. 

  As I started out, a man arrived walking a striking grey and white, rough-coated dog. The nearest identification I could find on Google Lens was a wire-haired pointer.
Many different varieties of dogs were out today, far too numerous for me to identify individually here.

  Alongside the pathway, there was a small farm with a few cows and some sheep in a field fringed with some large trees, mainly oaks and a few sweet chestnut trees.

I walked along a beautiful pathway through some large, impressive trees: horse chestnuts, oaks, beeches, and sweet chestnuts. The sweet chestnut trees were full of chestnuts, the nuts inside bursting out of the green, prickly husks. Many corvids, mainly jackdaws and rooks, were foraging under the trees on this huge windfall of food.

I continued along the track and met a lady with a golden labrador, which began to bark loudly. The lady said I had unwittingly wandered onto some private land. I apologised and turned back along the track. I returned to the main pathway and photographed some of the wonderful early autumn trees along the way back to rejoin Margaret in the Butler’s Pantry.
