A wonderful trip to North Cornwall last weekend included a trip to the amazing Golitha Falls.
An area of temperate rain forest.

Woodland wandering today in Dorset, near Turnworth.
The wild garlic is abundant but the trees are yet to bear leaves.
Buzzards, Ravens and a multitude of songbirds.
Finished the walk off with a delicious pork pie!

A Tudor surgeon should be able to treat all injuries, including the most deadly of all, a pie to the head.
