Wet and Windy January 2, 2024 / Under Beechwood / Leave a comment Wet and windy this morning. Dark still at 7.45am. No animals, just the sounds of the occasional bird. Muddy tracks that look very much like the bark of a silver birch. The forest is full of water, pools and streams, and the sound of rain. Pools of rain are springing up all over the forest.
