Today was a bank holiday in the UK and and one of my favourite ways to spend a sunny morning is to go for a walk in the forest. Something about the dappled light and the sound of the wind in the trees just makes me really happy.

Chanctonbury Ring really reminds me of the part of Epping Forest where I grew up. Sadly I can’t ride down the steep hills on my bike ( look mum, no brakes!) anymore but a sedate stroll listening to the birdsong takes me right back to those days.

I always take stacks of photos and today was no different. These were all taken on my iPhone, some are a touch out of focus because I have a touch of camera shake but I have included them because they are so pretty.
