I have regaled you all in previous blogs with my exercise routine during lockdown. One day it is a decent bike ride the other is usually Clare and I walking ( with my binoculars around my neck). I went further today on the bike  (well away from people) and I loved going through the woodland between Bisley (a lovely Cotswold Village) and Sapperton. The narrow road went under a marvellous canopy of fresh light green leaf covered branches with bluebells and wild garlic covering the woodland floor. I love British woodland! It certainly was good for morale!!!!

No St Helena writing today-thanks for the positive comments. More tomorrow hopefully. I have included some pictures of yours truly on the island just to prove I was there. One is on battlements of the main fort, the other is on the fortified wall overlooking the sea. Finally there was some relaxation while I was on the island and there were was only really a couple of  places to swim (this one involved an  hours walk down Lemon Valley)-you entered the water via the rocks and then scrambled up them to get out! By the time you walked back up you were jiggered!

Today’s quiz as I mentioned cycling through woodland all the questions are related to woodland!

a) Which three conifer trees are native to Britain?    b) Which tree’s leaves are the symbol for the National Trust?     c) Which county is England’s largest forest?  d) What is the name of the wood in the book Winnie the Pooh?  e) What species of tree did the Tolpuddle Martyrs meet under?
