That’s a proper carpet.

This is one of our favourite walks, just so very peaceful. It’s a great place to find that stillness we all need sometimes.
Mostly peaceful.
A family meet-up here a few years back. A beautiful family get together, all apart from a wasp sting, one twisted ankle and my only case of fleas….. A friendly squirrel interested in being hand fed some carrots and grapes. We shared our food, he shared his fleas…..
Most Hallowe’ens we have a night trip here, it’s a great place to tell slightly lame scary tales. Completely pitch black, silence punctuated by the occasional owl hooting and unseen creatures moving in the undergrowth, probably covered in fleas. Torch Beams crossing paths with the ornate wood sculptures definitely give seriously good jump scares.

At night these sculptures genuinely do seem alive, almost like they move, expressions change.

Would you come for a torch lit walk here…..
What a glorious Autumn picture Gary

In the day I would walk there. It looks peaceful. At night I wouldn’t walk alone. But I would walk with someone. Not that I probably still wouldn’t have some nerves walking in the dark. I have never walked in the woods before when dark.
