Glorious Decay

Like everywhere round here, the weather conditions have made for a most colourful Autumn. 

Even our new trees, put in as bare root 'whips' 9 months ago, are giving a display.

Here's some images from a walk yesterday round our soon-to-be-woodland.
Rowan, planted in January 0.5m tall; now 1.5!

Looking forward so much to what the coming years will bring!
