Seat with a view

The afternoon developed into the sunniest and warmest of the year so far - lovely. We had a stroll through the woods and fields up beyond Whiteshill with my sister and her family. Despite only living a few miles away we don't get to see them much, probably because our kids are nearly grown and her son, Connor, is just 5. Connor was very lively as usual and we had to play cricket along the way which made it rather slow at times. Walking through the woods there's green bursting through the old brown leaves everywhere and the faint hint of wild garlic.

We paused and sat on a bench made from the trunk of a fallen tree and whiled away a few moments admiring this view.
