The South Saxons southern border defenses are a little bit more impressive than the shared northern border ditch with the Kingdom of Kent running along our woodland boundary 🫤

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

October to December our campsite is quiet & our big teepee tent is down
The log piles are not aesthetic, they are practical, to ‘catch’ downed trees before they crush us in our sleep
The Bank Voles that live in the log piles don’t get to snaffle sausage roll crumbs currently

We knew exactly what we wanted, even though the woodland estate agent made no reference to them. Big mistake
There is a reason ancient woodland has areas devoid of all plant life in November, because this is what it looks like in April
All it took was someone to love them 💜

Hoar Frost
Forms when the air is still and cold, usually on clear winter nights. Water vapour in the air condenses on solid surfaces, and as the surface temperature drops below 0°C, ice crystals form.
Origin is old English for old grey hair
