Ancient woodland

LH, Poppydog and I walked a slightly longer version of a regular route this morning, highlights being a new swan family, Arctic Terns, and beautiful yellow flags (crawling with residents - see extra). The prehistoric wood that is only revealed at low tide was on display; a friend tells me he took a sample to an archaeologist who confirmed it was a willow species that was thousands of years old, semi-fossilised. It's not always visible as the sand comes and goes but it's certainly looking amazing at the moment.

I didn't quite get the weeny garden totally finished today but I just need to get some bark on the borders as a mulch and that will be it. Tomorrow morning's job.

Went to see 'The Leisure Seeker' this evening which I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm not a film buff but do enjoy those that have enough substance for quiet consideration post viewing like this one. Nothing melodramatic but wonderfully performed.
