Ruins

We found a new walk from our house today. The track led to several ruined farms so Id like to know what happened to them. It was a beautiful day for a walk. I seem to have gone cooking mad since we were confined to the house. I made chicken pie and some stock from the carcass for soup.
Forgot to say, I went back to look at the buds I photographed the other day and you were all right, it is a Magnolia. The buds are opening now,
