Remembrance Day was rather dismal and sombre weather-wise, drizzly and chilly, too. When I got home I lit a great big open fire in the hearth of my cottage and said a big thank you - for life, liberty and a warm home!
Today, it is much brighter - though down in the wood you get the feeling that the small animals are beginning to pull down the shutters for the season! The birds are busy feeding on berries - and there seem to be plenty about - whilst the cottage chickens seem to have abandoned the outskirts of the wood for the garden.

| Waxwing |
Some unusual visitors can pop in at this time of the year... the waxwing is a lovely bird and if often attracted by the ripening fruit of the wood's outer perimeter... looking closely at the rowan berries you can see hoe juicy they are ... I have a Rowan tree in my garden, too, and the blackbirds love it!
