Late afternoon and much too nice a day to end….so a last minute walk with the dogs through the Beech woods was the solution. I love this row of Beech – not tall and straight as Beech usually are, but bent and twisted with roots stretching out to ‘hold tight’ to the sloping ground. The glow of the fading evening light adding to the copper glow of the leaves. Taking advantage of the last of the sun is not a bad way to end an autumn day.
