Off the roads at last

Today for the first time in months we have been able to walk on tracks instead of the roads. Down through the woods it was still rather muddy and we could see where the river has scoured the banks and field edges during the floods. High winds have also been a problem these last few weeks. The wet soil and winds have resulted in falling trees. We ducked under one wedged across the track, then came on this group. They were actually fairly easy to get under and over and the rest of the walk was quite good. If the sun would shine more and the weather warm up then the hedges would soon be green and more spring flowers would come out.
