Woodland Sprit...

The theme for Wide Wednesday today is 'Religion'... There are many varied and colourful religions that enrich the world and I'm sure that amongst them are worshippers of Woodland Sprits. Our ancient churches have many images of 'Green Men' that reach back to long before Christianity in these islands. This image has been carved into a living tree in the Beechwoods Nature Reserve near Cambridge.

In other news... I took Patrick to the vet this morning for his annual checkup, jab and claw trim. He yowled and growled and lashed out like you wouldn't believe, by the end of it the vet, veterinary nurse and me were lucky not to need a trip to A & E.
